Valerie Rachelle shares her thoughts on the main character's journey through pain and loss, as well as how the story's themes remain relevant to today's political climate.

The play, she says, showcases the core of why people play D&D — to find fun, adventure, and a sense of family.

Lynn Nottage's Crumbs from the Table of Joy runs Dec. 9-18 in the Judy Bayley Theatre.
