Since Bite-Sized is only 2 days away, meet 2 of our wonderful performers: Natalie and Toria!!

What this performance means to Natalie: I’ve always loved to bake, and I also love musical theatre. “Waitress” is the perfect combination of both, and I deeply resonate with its message that baking has the power to brighten people’s days and help you find hope during difficult times.

What this performance means to Toria: It is an opportunity to share how I pursue my work as a Sustainability Cultural Organizer through a feminist lens, and how this work is a continuation of my family’s legacy in environmental and agricultural labor.
