Zach and Suzanne: A Pangea Love Story

Zach and I are thrilled to be raising money to support our mutual love for Pangea World Theater.  We met in an audition room in 2009 and were married ( in a theater) 5 years later. In 2015, less than a year into our marriage, I was hired as Pangea’s Resident Stage Manager and Events Coordinator. Shortly after, Zach and his entire family started volunteering with Pangea’s circle and he has had the pleasure of auditioning and being cast in multiple Pangea productions over the years. I have now stage managed, coordinated and supported over a 100 of Pangea’s shows and programs.

This summer Pangea also commissioned every artist on staff to curate work around the unrest in our city. Because of this I  was able to present my play “Open Water” for the first time ever during Juneteenth. This was a powerful and healing process that was made possible because Pangea loves and supports the artists they work with.

Being part of Pangea’s circle means that your entire artistry will be honored and nourished. We can’t express our gratitude for how Pangea has supported us as individual artists, a couple and part of Pangea’s loving family of artists and social justice leaders.

This Summer, Pangea has supported over a 100 artists like us during a time when being an artist is scary, venerable and unpredictable. Over and over again Pangea has stepped up to create financial security, artistic freedom and long-lasting community support to artists when we needed it the most.

We are so excited to invite you to SPREAD THE LOVE and support us in reaching our goal for Pangea!
