Blake Walton, an award-winning actor, director, playwright, and teaching artist, brings over four decades of experience to the stage. Together with Ann Morrison, a celebrated actress, writer, director, and teacher, he co-founded SaraSolo Productions, an independent nonprofit theater company devoted to showcasing bold, inspiring solo performances that shine a light on the richness—and often overlooked perspectives—of the human experience. SaraSolo Productions champions voices that are rarely heard, especially those considered “other than,” through a commitment to authenticity, empathy, and innovation. At the heart of their mission lies the HEAR ME initiative—an acronym representing the company’s core values. Free for Arts Advocates members, $5 for nonmembers. Register at ArtsAdvocates.org.
