Witness: The Vineyard and More!

WITNESS UGANDA: 
Witness on the Vineyard!

Matt and I just returned from an amazing two week writer's retreat on Martha's Vineyard hosted by Vineyard Arts and ArtFarm. We were joined by Jon-Michael Reese, Leslie Odom Jr, and Nicolette Robinson (our incredibly talented friends)! We sang! We danced! We wrote! We ate!

Matt and I have been working feverishly on completing Act II of the show. We literally were writing day and night! We're both really proud of the new material that we wrote in our two week stay. We were also able to record some demos of the music to present to our producers and the staff of Boston Court Theater for our first reading August 4th in Pasadena!

Thank you to Brooke Hardman and Ashley Malone (ArtFarm and Vineyard Arts) for giving us the opportunity to share Witness Uganda with the amazing people of Martha's Vineyard!

Many thanks to all those who donated to our trip! We had a fabulous time visiting our students. They've grown up and are making huge strides toward being the next leaders of Uganda.
