The arts is the only industry where people don’t ask to see your chequebook before offering help.
BONES is performed by me, but it is an expression of the skills, creativity, and blessings of many — a circle of artists who gave their time, expertise, and creativity, freely. They had no choice. We had no budget.
Their love, and generosity gave this play bones.
The characters of BONES are grateful for their gifts so willingly shared.
Every artist needs a tribe. This is mine.
