Gloria May Eshkibok, Dorothy Kennedy and Joan Chandler recall the project’s beginnings: moments from the workshop at Kitty Bell’s house, the magic of the live play, the social context, why they wanted to address something that’s not easy to talk about -- using theatre.

“There was no pretence about it. There was no putting on airs or being in a different frame of mind, but just being there as natural as can be and I think that was what made things work for us to live in a natural way, to be open to what the world has to offer, what your destiny has to offer that day.”   Dorothy Kennedy

“The snow [that] came that day for that presentation was a sign from the Creator. It's important work that we're doing. It's important work that we're listening to. It's important work that we have to bring awareness.”  Gloria May Eshkibok
