Standing Ovation
After many years of working towards this, it was amazing to witness the first public performance of The Other Side of Me. The production was received with thunderous applause, cheers, and then a standing ovation. My people were visibly moved to tears and many stayed for a while afterwards to discuss what they had experienced.
