Broadway's OF MICE AND MEN recoups!

Investors make theatre possible. It’s one thing to say “I believe in what you do” and still another to take the plunge and say “I’m investing in this show.”  People invest in shows for lots of reasons; it’s a personal thing. A sincere thank you to those who joined us and invested in Of Mice and Men.

And though this news was just published today, I've already received lots of congratulatory messages.  So fortunate to have true friends who genuinely share the happiness that comes with this good news.
