SUPERHERO shows us that true superheroes aren’t the ones flying in sky, they’re the ones who show up and make an impact in our lives and communities.

These amazing organizations will also be tabling at several performances of SUPERHERO (full schedule to come!). We are proud to kick off this initiative by highlighting Legendary Legacies, a gang rehabilitation and re-entry program.
