"The Green Tailed Monkey Story" - Karen Zacarías

Theater is not about offering solutions, but about setting a stage, listening, and at its core, about not being alone. Karen Zacarias explains that when theater works it’s about community, and when it really works it’s about communion. She also shares how she came to this conclusion and the truly remarkable story of the green tailed monkey that lead her to the theater.
