Pride Month 2023 | Ashli St. Armant

Happy Pride Month! To celebrate, we have asked for the perspective of a few of our season 23-24 artists that openly identify as LGBTQ+. Ashli St. Armant is the creator/director of North: The Musical-coming out in February of 2024 and is also a vocalist, actor, writer, art educator, and mother based in Los Angeles.
