We're honored to be in great company on this list of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage grantees. We'd especially like to congratulate our friend, the brilliant choreographer Jaamil Olawale Kosoko, who performed with us in 2006's 'Love Unpunished', and Pig Iron School alum Alexandra Tatarsky, who recently served as dramaturg for our Zoom remount of 'Zero Cost House'.

We're thrilled and grateful to share that The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage is supporting "The Pregnant Speakeasy", a new work we're developing with Josephine Decker that will blend theater, installation, cabaret, and visual projection to reveal and celebrate the power of the pregnant body. #PewArtsGrants
