It's Nice That interviewed TALISMAN's Jacob Kemp on his approach to creating the anniversary season identity for the celebrated theater – discussing the joys and challenges of revealing the two-year campaign. When Everyman's community was unable to come together to celebrate due to the pandemic, TALISMAN needed to envision a way to offer subscribers a unique way to cheer, to share, and hope. We wanted to honor the artists and creators who devote themselves to serving their community using art, using stories as their tool for change.⁠
