Welcome to Foolish Voices! On this show we talk to a wide range of theatre artists, both here in Sun Valley and all across the world, about how the current global health crisis is impacting their work, about their creative lives, and about their hopes for the future of our art form.

In this episode, we are talking with James Dixon, an actor, director, and equity champion from Portland, Oregon. He is also an arts administrator, an equity facilitator, a proud Theatre Vertigo alumni, and currently serves as the EDI Chair for the Portland Area Theatre Alliance Board of Directors. Recent directing credits include Bootycandy with Fuse Theatre, The Mysterious Affair At Styles with Linestorm Playwrights, and as a cultural advisor for Hair with Staged. He is currently directing a 360 degree VR documentary, Genderfication, centered around transgender, femme, and non-binary humans of color in honor of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall.
James encourages listeners to support PATA's Valentine Fund, https://portlandtheatre.com/Valentine-Fund, to support actors impacted by the economic crisis.
