Ethiopia

Something extraordinary is happening. I just found out that I am part of a creative team going to Ethiopia to make a theatre piece with orphans in Addis Ababa. I met an amazing woman, Dr. Jane Aronson, (www.orphandoctor.com) who has started an organization called the Worldwide Orphan Organization and has a beautiful dream of giving these children tools for creative expression. A team of four - Antoinette LaVecchia, James Haven, James Hallett and myself, will be leaving April 26th for one month. We will be having a fundraiser some time in the next 5-6 weeks, so please check back here for details.
