Q & A with Josie Seid  

TR: What excites you about Men On Boats?

 

JS: I love collaborating with badass (can I say that on paper?) women!  The audition process for this production was one of the most fun, challenging and empowering processes I have experienced to date.  It was remarkable to feel like you were working together on a piece and not trying to beat someone out for something.  I was humbled and uplifted by the talent, strength and brilliance of these women.  Now I get to lean in even farther and tell this story from this feminist lens and it thrills me to contribute to something that has the power to alter the perceptions of how we view adventure.
