If you ask Miranda Hartmann why she’s involved in theater, you will get an earful! The All-of-Us Express artistic director and alumnus is full of passion for the art, which she believes has a place in everyone’s life, on or off the stage. I think there are valuable things to be learned through theater and drama for every person in the world, and I want to be a part of educating people about that it’s theater education as a whole, she says. It’s this belief that makes her work at All-of-Us Express Children’s Theater (AECT) so rewarding. She’s helping children understand this value early on so they can take it into their lives and use it to their advantage as they make their way across life’s stage.
