If you missed it in April, here is your chance to watch it!! And if you seen it already, spread the word, HECK, come out and watch again! Do not let this show pass you by. The AMY Project 2010 ensemble will be performing in the Summerworks festival between Aug 6th & Aug 14th. Come out and support young artist/talent!!! Performed in April/May, and featured in the NOW magazine, Step Right Up was a great success, with amazing feedback and tons of reviews.

This year’s youth ensemble presents Step Right Up, a circus show that invites you to take a closer look at the human ‘oddities’ that make us gawk, laugh and cringe. As they share their personal stories, these promising, emerging performers step up into the spotlight and, with great feats of courage, challenge you to look beyond society’s game of smoke and mirrors and see the complex truth that lies beneath.
Tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a community and come out and enjoy.
There will also be a question and answer period.

Another candle to blow out today

Another Candle to blow out today and another year to be thankful for. Each year I remember making a wish, whether about love, stars or happiness, I've always anticipated this moment. The moment that captures my whole year in a still thought. You see, out of the millions of wishes, that I have the opportunity to choose from, I've selected this one on my birthday. In this one short second its just my thoughts and I, who forget about all of the old wishes that never came true and rather reflect on the ones to come. As I inhale the breath of a new year, I'm reminded that each flickering light in front of me, represents a flickering year and the hope of another 365 days, which are never guaranteed. So, as I close my eyes and blow out another candle, I'll use this second to lye awake with my own thought, in my own moment and with my own wish.
