A new nonprofit theater company focusing on marginalized communities is letting their voices be heard. We can usually count the good things that came out of the pandemic on one hand. Rachel Brees, co-founder of Picnic Basket Theatre lists accessibility as one. During the lockdown, many performing arts companies turned to streaming their events virtually. Picnic Basket Theatre is dedicated to maintaining that accessibility— with a focus on marginalized communities. Growing up in rural Wisconsin, Brees, who is also the company's associate director and sound supervisor, felt the restrictions that traditional theater can pose on communities.
