Welcome back to another episode of the DJ Doran Show. This wee we had the amazing opportunity to connect with David Cerda of Hell in a Handbag Productions. This is another installment of a sort of mini-series we are doing which features various individuals from around our lovely city of Chicago. Besides theater, the conversation covers how the arts community is responding to the current crisis, aspects of identity, pursuing creative endeavors, and building community.

More about David:
