FESTIVAL DIRECTOR’S PROGRAM NOTES
Opening night—Common Bond
There is most always a disparity between what we want and what we deserve. As humans, it is very often our constitution to hide our true selves. We frequently fear our own nature, often for a myriad of reasons that can be incredibly complicated and incredibly personal. But in actuality, it is our differences that make us uniquely human. No matter what our ethnicity, orientation, upbringing, belief system, or political views, we all have the capacity to love, mourn, hurt, distrust, forgive and triumph. This is our COMMON BOND.
Matinee— Forever
The thing about both mistakes and triumphs is that they become our history and never leave us. You cannot understand who you are without understanding who you were.
Closing Night—Gideon
We are all messengers. Our stories are unique. A life spent without a purpose is a life wasted. Let your trumpet be heard.
