CONGRATULATIONS ON A WONDERFUL RUN! I've learned sooo much from each and every one of you, and I want to thank you all for it!
But, just because the play is over doesn't mean the conversation is... "keep talking America"...
I want to hear about your experiences when you first came here. Or if you were born here, how are your views of America different from your parents?
Did you ever believe in the "hype" about America at one point? How about your family? What kind of things would you tell someone that has never been here?
Dimelo Dimelo!!!
Love Always,
Sita

"It occurs to me that I am America. I'm talking to myself again." - Allen Ginsberg
Youth Onstage!'s freshest young performers are engaged in a dialogue with their country, their audience, and with themselves, asking "Who speaks for America? What does America have to say? Who is America anyway?"

Well I was actually born in the US so I really can't produce a good stand point. But Yooooooooooooooo Glad the show was a success and it received the play and recognition it deserved. This is such a powerful aspect of America, and yet to bring it on stage and show people their views on it is definitely an eyeopener yet a revelation. Keep bringing that heat, and delivering that message, and ya wil be heard....
Woooooord....
Peace Peace
100 Love
