It takes courage...
I think we made history that day, with our tired eyes and childish grins.
We walked along the narrow path, knowing that we might fall, we might break.
But, with strong hearts, we embraced the alameda.
And it opened up to us as we began to sing.
Thank you to everyone who made this possible. Thank you to all who came out to support us.
"It takes courage to remember, it takes courage to forget."
See you all at the next one!
Un abrazo,

Staying at the Four Star Hotel!
Whew! We did it! We opened on the 17th! It was amazing and powerful! Standing ovations practically every night!
The panel discussion on Sunday the 20th was magical to say the least. A gentleman who is a torture survivor from Chile approached me after the play and sobbed in my arms. He was so moved, so raw because he had, for the first time in his life, seen himself and his experience on stage. He shared his story with us during the panel's q & a and magically spoke about a Canadian woman who had helped him in the transition when he first arrived in 1974. He mentioned her name and someone pointed out to him that she was sitting but three seats away from him. Unbeliveable! We all got teary eyed as they hugged and said hello after so many years.
We are all really, really proud of the work that is being done in The Refugee Hotel. You don't want to miss this show! To buy your tickets logon: www.artsboxoffice.ca or call 416-504-7529. For more information please call Alameda Theatre Company at 416-428-7638.
Catch it before we close on the 4th. You won't regret it!
See you at the show!

Here we go....!!!!!!
I've been in the thick of it all. Haven't really had a chance to stop and take stock. So, here I am trying to make sense of it all. I think the blog episode this week says it all. I would write more, but I am trying to check off all of the last minute details that I need to get done. I will write more later, about this process, about the ups and downs, about everything.
Until then, watch the episode, forward it to all your friends. We need to get the masses out to see this show. It's important. It's important that we support a new voice in canadian theatre. Buy your tickets here: http://www.artsboxoffice.ca
See you at the show!!!!!!
