Great Performance & Event, May 2, Santa Barbara

Wow! What a great performance by Ellen Snortland in her Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, “Now That She’s Gone.”

Everyone loved the play and the art work we displayed.  Rather than just write about an experience that is difficult to describe, I thought I’d just post some great photos taken at the event.

    My hubby and I attended Ms. Snortland’s performance, and were alternately crying and in stitches. She really ran the gamut of what it’s like to be raised by a Mom who may have a few difficulties expressing her love and affection. We loved the show! Thanks, Bob, Ellen and all who made it possible.

    Blessings and prayers to our Santa Barbara neighbors.
