Last night volunteering at @openingactny #Intheirownwords Benefit Play Reading Gala was truly phenomenal. The work that Opening Act NY does to provide free theatre to the most underserved high schools in NYC is vital, and groundbreaking. Seeing how they uplift and empower their students to use their voices and to #YESAND every opportunity in life so that they can succeed, it’s a pleasure and it’s deeply profound. Consider supporting @openingactny by donating to their work, or volunteering at their events, or even attending their events. It all matters, because #ouryouthmatter - #intheirownwords #openingactny #theatre #nyc #youth #stories #melaninpoppin #art #arteducation #queer #Black #performance #theatreeducation #supportouryouth #YESAND #citykids #selfie #poster #design #lighting #friends #gala #community #blackartist #blackart #queerart #queerartist #youthart #youthartist #storytelling #drama #April #nonprofit #urban #volunteer #broadway #play (at New World Stages) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvy14qXAN2j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=criipsqffmng
