At Our Most Recent Meeting...
...we welcomed Tali Russell, Community Outreach and Relations Specialist for the Taunton Performing Arts Center (TPAC). Tali shared how TPAC is working to create a welcoming, inclusive space where people of all ages can connect through the performing arts, with a mission centered on educating, inspiring, and building community. They have a busy calendar of shows and youth fashion camps, and are always looking to connect with people interested in being both on stage and working behind the scenes.
