Guest: Don Shandrow – Don Shandrow is co-founder and executive artistic director of Coalescence Theatre Project and is committed to presenting plays that express ideas, thoughts and stories that are not usually heard, to offer opportunities to underutilized performers and theatre artists, and to bring together an audience that reflects the diversity of the community Coalescence serves. 
Under his leadership Coalescence has held to a commitment to produce only works by women, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC playwrights with an emphasis on original works, and has put together a playwright advisory board that includes Reginald Edmund, Amy Tofte, Ama Oforiwaa Aduonum, and Sharece M. Sellem.
Don is also on the board of directors of the Illinois Theatre Association, and as an ITA board member, he serves as Community Theatre Representative as well as a member of the Executive Committee, and the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Culture Committee. 
As we are inching closer to the end of the pandemic, the Theater world is still patiently holding its breath for the live performances to begin. 
In sync with the hope and eagerness, the vaccines have brought to the world, Mandi Theater wants to spread the voice of hope and strength to the community.
