So much of what we do every day is find the proper balance between what our desires and ambitions tell us and the deepest consciousness that resides within out soul – how do we find our way?  We’re all storytellers every day of our life, either acting out our dreams and passions, or bringing to life other’s creations, or possibly working on ourselves with the hope that when the right moment comes along, we can unleash everything we feel inside.  As Harold Clurman says in my play, “LET IT BE ART!” “It’s up to us how we shape our daily life!”  So this Newspaper brings to you all of the longings, the deep-seated passions of many artists across the globe searching for ways to reveal their hearts and souls, and share the gift of Art and Theatre. I believe it’s not enough to simply dedicate yourself to a craft, you must also be willing to leap with great faith and empathy to allow something that’s never been revealed about the human heart to be born.  Take a leap every day!  Build on the shoulders of those who’ve come before us and are willing to speak to us if we can are willing to open our souls to listen. Believe we can build a better world through our art and heal one another.  This is my dream.  What is yours?
