In this episode, we tour the brand-new Shaw Artists' Village to see how this cultural hub is transforming life on and off the stage. 

We sit down with lead sponsor Jim Burton to discuss the new Burton Center for Lifelong Creativity, and chat with Pragna Desai about the village’s community programming. Head of Wardrobe Jason Bendig and Associate Head Janet Ellis take us behind the scenes of costume creation, and Bailey Cohort interns Espoir Segbeaya and Rylan Thomas share what it’s really like to live and train on campus.
