From Jessica Robinson Love, Executive & Artistic Director Dear colleagues, artists, supporters, and friends, I could scarcely have imagined when I ascended the long stairs at 848 Community Space fourteen years ago to become its sole staff member, that “the little space that could” would become a bustling professional theater and a nationally-recognized model for building community through socially-engaged art.
