Free Street helps us with being ourselves. In the beginning (of rehearsals), everyone is shy and afraid to show themselves. Through the writing process, we get to know what people are on the inside.
I like how we discuss different ideas as a group. We talk about issues in our community—it makes us really think about what’s going on and how we can fix it.
