Travis is a creator, actor, director, training leader, and dear friend. His generosity, vision and willingness as a young artist to see the past are only equal to his daring to bring that past into a new future of hope and dreams for our fractured world. As Founding Artistic Director, it is with inspiration and love that I join Double Edge in celebrating Travis as our new Co-Artistic Director, on this occasion of our fortieth anniversary. -Stacy Klein | | | | Hannah Jarrell becomes Director of Artist / Community Engagement | | | | We want to share the good news that our beloved colleague Hannah Jarrell is now Director of Artist / Community Engagement.
