PHILLIP LEWIS: Audience Concierge

Why Public Access Theatre?

I choose Public Access because as a black queer kid from the south side, I never had stories that I could connect with. Being a part of a company that not only works to provide quality shows that speak to individuals like me, but providing it in the most accessible way possible. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?
