The Way It Should Be!!

I was in El Paso yesterday with the cast of Domestic Violence The Musical? All I can say is WOW! What I saw was a strong “ramping up” of the performance audiences will see later in October. After the July performances I didn’t think it could be more powerful, but I knew our director, Loren Marsters had done it again when I heard Nathan Stell-Smith, on guitar, joining Elena on the piano as the actors sang, “Don’t Know How to Leave”. I was totally blown away when the guitar joined the voices of Cindy Miles and Ginny Green for the presentation of "Control " and I actually got goose flesh and when the trio of female voices joined to do “Listen, Listen, Listen.” I finally knew why Linda cries every time it is presented that way. Look out all you folks that plan to attend the October presentations in Alamogordo, NM, Holloman AFB, Region 19 in El Paso and Canutillo High School . You are about to see an ensemble come together to bring you a strong message in a way you have never seen.

We were saddened by the news yesterday of yet another domestic violence homicide at Fort Bragg, the third one in four months. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of 29 year old, Sgt. Christina E. Smith. The message of “Domestic Violence The Musical?” needs to be taken to all military installations. Kudos to Ellen Madison –Holtz, for her huge part in bringing this program to Holloman AFB and to Base Command for recognizing the great need and supporting this effort.
