"To research this play, I felt it was imperative to experience Africa first hand, and would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that helped make that possible:
Joseph Adler for producing this wonderful play, for giving me the opportunity to play the role - and for not thinking I was too crazy when I said I was going to Africa;
Jay Harris for his unrelenting generosity and kindness;
My Mum and Dad for loving me;
The whole Composition Department at Merrill Corporation NY for being so patient and understanding, and for making me smile;
All the Habitat Gang! Duga Diva's UNITE!!!
Cynthia and Amina for allowing me to share;
Penny for making me feel like I could do it and allowing me to see inside the people of Africa;
Michelle for her quirkiness and generous spirit and all the wonderful people I have the pleasure of knowing in this life - God Bless!
And most importantly, the people of Africa for making me understand the true connection between God, the Land and its people.
May Africa rise up to it's full potential and
remain there for all time. Amandla!" |
