Director's Notes:
"You can't be anyone unless you first recognize yourself."
A young woman's search to discover who she is.
Anya's journey is the same one that each one of us takes.
This is a young cast and crew. So many neophytes, all at the beginning of their journey, and boy, it's been a very difficult and lonely road lately. So I am very happy they have found us, have found each other, have found an artistic expression, and found this wonderful, supportive place to spend their time. Bright Theatre will always be a place of life lessons, laughter, and love.
I am blessed to spend my day with these young people - they are funny, industrious, and as you will witness, talented! But most importantly - caring and empathetic. Just great people.
Thank you for sharing this experience with all of us - Ms M
