Greetings NoVA Showbiz Readers! I'm so excited to put this post up - and just so there's no illusion of objectivity - let me be clear. I directed this show. I'm now friends with most of the cast.

I am in no way being objective when I recommend that you go to see this show. I care deeply about the work that has been done to produce this show, and want very much for audiences to see it.

Having said that - I wouldn't be making such a strong recommendation if I didn't believe 1000% that it will be money and time well spent for anyone who sees it.

This is my first turn at the helm, and it is work that I couldn't be more proud of. The cast and crew have poured their hearts and souls into this story, and I just can't say enough about how amazing they've all been to work with.

Make no mistake. They will absolutely blow you away.
