Donna J. Paris took on the challenge as Producer thanks to her background in the Financial Business after falling in love with a snippet of the play showcased at her “All White Attire Event” for small businesses in Brooklyn, New York. Her determination of ensuring the writer gets the exposure needed she immediately thrusted herself into the daily activities in the creation and building of the budget, choosing performance dates and times and developing the marketing and advertising to ensure its success with a multi-talented cast.
