Director Statement

Creating "Take My Hand" was an emotional roller coaster ride during the pandemic of COVID-19. Our rehearsals were cancelled for two months and after that we started meeting outside at a local park to continue the work. We faced many obstacles and heart break as riots took the streets and COVID-19 took more lives. As artists, we desperately needed to express ourselves during this time and we are so thankful we reached the final product. This piece represents the hope we found during the world's struggle.
