Phedre Delinois (Assistant Director) is incredibly grateful that, somehow, someone decided their love of theatre qualified them to be an Assistant Director. Victor/Victoria is their first time serving in this role, and they couldn't imagine a better company to learn and grow with. It is an honor to be part of Arts Collective Theatre's Inaugural Season 0 and help bring its very first production to life. Sharing this journey with such a talented, generous, and wildly creative cast and crew has been an absolute joy. Theatre has always been more than a stage to Phedre—it's a place where people find connection, courage, and themselves. They dedicate this production to every queer young person still finding their way. If you're searching for where you belong, know this: brighter days are ahead. Your story matters, your voice deserves to be heard, and there is a place in this world where you'll be celebrated for exactly who you are. Now, let's raise the curtain... and hopefully they can make it through tech week without losing my rehearsal notes.
