WHY I STAND WITH CGDC

Stafford Arima

STAFFORD ARIMA

"Theater artists were placed on this earth to tell stories, to move mountains, and to bring together people. Through CGDC, emerging and established artists can come together in harmony to inspire, support, engage and mentor. Mentorship is deeply important to me as it's all about investing in the present and the future. To keep the art form alive, we must invest in its people."
