"The arts are a challenging and under-appreciated field. However, I believe very deeply in the importance of creative work for individuals/communities and for social change. We need more art in the world - not merely for entertainment, but for the well-being of our communities, to reconnect to the self, and to foster a more universal and inclusive language. Being an artist is a constant risk, but one that is well worth the moments of inspiration that allow us to create, perform, share, teach and inspire."

Autumn 2024 showcase concerns:
Scheduling the date!
August 3rd, everyone might still be away for the summer. Plus, it'll be light outside and difficult to create a mood.
August 31st is Labor Day weekend and few will be around (and if they are, it's back to school and crazy busy).
September 29th is a Sunday and we won't have Tess as a host.
We could move it to daytime September 29th but, again, this creates problems with the mood. Burlesque in the middle of the day is... Weird.
I would be away for Easter with my new church in Philly, so I wouldn't be able to do that.
