Meet Robin Pullen and Caro's Comet!
The night sky has long inspired humanity, but few stories shine as brightly as that of Caroline Herschel, the trailblazing astronomer who defied societal norms to leave her mark among the stars. In our latest addition to the script catalogue, Caro’s Comet: The Celestial Cinderella, Caroline’s extraordinary journey comes to life, celebrating her achievements as the first woman to discover a comet and her indomitable spirit.
Meet Michelle Kholos Brooks & Project Fear
"I hope that young people will see what connects them rather than what divides them. I interviewed kids from Alaska to Hawaii to New York to South Carolina to Iowa. I interviewed progressives, conservatives and kids of varying cultures and identities. Almost every single kid told me that they had anxiety, that they hated middle school, and that they were scared of spiders. Those are great places to start when it comes to finding commonalities instead of differences." ~playwright, Michelle Kholos Brooks
