A huge thank you to our Perspectives guest, Patricia Gill, for her incredibly informative lecture before the matinee performance of Lydia on Thursday, April 2.

Patricia is the Executive Director of Marin Brain Injury Network, a rehabilitation and support organization for traumatic brain injury survivors and their families, serving Marin and Sonoma counties since 1983.

During the rehearsal process, Patricia was kind enough to invite the actors and the director, Jasson Minadakis, to the center to learn about the effects of a traumatic brain injury in very practical terms, and were invited to meet and interact with some of the participants. This research was vital to the creative process, informing the character of Ceci and the characters around Ceci who would participate in her therapy and rehabilitation.

Her point of view was an incredible opportunity for the audience to understand the play from a different angle, and to learn a little more about one aspect of the show.
