About this title

From the Back Cover

We have done all of this for 25 years for budgets that ranged from $3,000 - $25,000 for a fiscal year, so our work has been self-subsidized all these years. But that is the reality of the Arts in the United States. In some cases our vendor bills, including yours, have absorbed 10-20% of our entire budget, that is why we are soliciting your support.

We enjoy working with you and believe this is a collaboration between the Arts and the for-profit sector. We have never made a profit, but our Art has grown and transformed peoples lives one day at a time in each of the venues where we have appeared.
