“Many Ways In”

Danisha Crosby Director of Education at Round House Theatre with Alexander Weiss, TPC Member

‍ ‍

Listening to Danisha Crosby, I’m reminded of the immeasurable value of theater education both for anyone who goes to a summer theater camp or an afterschool workshop and also for society as a whole. Through theater we can learn so many of life’s most valuable skills and lessons, including collaboration, empathy, and critical thinking. Thankfully students of all ages have been able to do that under the leadership and guidance of Danisha, the Director of Education at Round House Theatre, an organization she’s worked at for over 30 years in capacities from production to artistic to education.  

Given the length and breadth of her career, Danisha is able to connect the past to the present and the future, which is really important for an industry and artform that has impermanence at its core. As much as things change, plenty of great things that perseveres, one of which is the value of people getting together to tell necessary stories.

Later, Alexander Weiss, a member of Round House’s Teen Performance Company, joins us to discuss just such a story, the upcoming TPC production of At the End of the World at the end of March 2026.
