About the Author

Linda Lau and Rae Mansfield are theatre arts educators, drama Ph.D.’s, and co-founders of the Theatre for Lifelong Learning Project. Linda teaches theatre at the Older Adults Program at Santa Rosa Junior College. Rae is Honors Faculty-in-Residence at the University of Massachusetts, Lowell. Their collaboration began through writing plays about underrepresented populations, social problems, and unconventional people struggling with normality. They are interested in inspiring people to participate in theatre regardless of background or experience, challenging audiences and artists to think critically about the world we live in, and helping people make connections to create communities.
