The Speaker's Forum is held each Sunday morning from 9:00 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Forum topics often address and spur dialogue about a current local community, statewide, national or international issue. Some forums feature a local author and the topic of the author's new book, or a representative of a local non-governmental organization (NGO) describing the organization’s work, programs, and accomplishments.

Leslie Ishii is the Artistic Director of Perseverance Theatre and an actor, director, voice practitioner, activist, and community builder. She is Yonseifourth generation Japanese American.

She maintains ongoing relationships with legacy BIPOC theatres around the country and continues to collaborate on facilitation teams, teach, and serve in coalition on national committees and panels to dismantle white supremacy culture in the American Theatre.
