We are proud to present Stage Left Theater's Visionary Award to EMILY FRANKS for her powerhouse performance in "My Name is Rachel Corrie" at the 2025 Kaleidoscope Festival! 🧵
The entire left side of the image is a field of bright yellow with a curved edge on the right side. Within it, it reads: "Stage Left Theater (as the SL logo) proudly presents our 2025 KALEIDOSCOPE Host Theater Visionary Award to Emily Franks for her powerhouse performance in "MY NAME IS RACHEL CORRIE". Below that is the multi-color Kaleidoscope logo.

On the right side of the image is a picture of Emily Franks, in costume (a light blue t-shirt and black bicycle shorts), on the set of "My Name is Rachel Corrie". She has dyed pink hair. The set is a painted, graffitied cinderblock wall on the bottom and a burgundy painted bedroom wall with drawings and paintings pinned to it on the top. The division between the two is ragged and uneven. Clothing and books are strewn about the floor.
