DIRECTOR'S NOTE:  This play was created collaboratively by the cast over the last month, with so much input from the communities of Grant and Catron Counties.  the process, for us, was one of pooling all of our ideas, our unheard opinions, and creating a play that spoke our thoughts, relevant to the community we live in.  In the theatricality of it all, perhaps we lost sight of our original goal.  But, then perhaps we have more right to entertain you than to preach at you.

Whatever may come out of this process, we intend it honestly, not as a manifesto, but as the first paragraph of a dialogue that we feel needs to happen.  Or more than a dialogue - a celebration.  People breaking down barriers and coming together.  I have long been debating in my mind (and with countless others) whether theater is a place to entertain or to educate.  Well, perhaps it's a little of both.  But more than this, it is a place to c ommunicate.
