Arts Every Day

Oscar Wilde described theatre as “the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being,” and Mitch Harris couldn’t agree more. Mitch is a multidisciplinary theatrical artist, writer, and educator that believes in the power the arts to bolster communities, enhance education, and create positive social change. Originally based in Texas, Mitch is thrilled to join the Arts Every Day team to help Baltimore’s students unlock new modes of learning by embodying core content and using their bodies, voices, and imaginations to thrive academically.
