Respond to "Visions"

"In the simplicity of your production came a powerful presentation of the dark and terrifying journey one takes in active addiction.

The experience felt by the audience was clear. Many shifted in their seats, others shut their eyes and others wept, some for the first time in years. What was obvious was that this presentation was and continues to be, an act of love from a recovering addict to another addict in pain, struggling to become in touch with life, hope and humanity."
