Hello Lockdowners,
By now most of you who are owed money will have received your first checks. If not, they are on their way to you! Extra special thanks to Michael and Fila who defered payment til we get more money in, I appreciate it very much. I will let you all know when final payments are ready.
Many thanks and big hugs to each and every one of you for your patience and understanding. It was wonderful to have an opportunity to touch base with you all on the phone, either directly or through your parents, last week. It was great to hear your news, and about all your awesome summer adventures.
"Lockdown" was a huge success. Working on it was definately my highlight for 2008-9, and this was 100 per cent due to the pleasure of meeting and working with each and every one of you. Thank you for being part of my life and for the amazing opportunity to create this wonderful work.
As most of you know I faced a number of personal challenges this year. Living with cancer was/is one of them. But having our workshops to look forward to helped me stay positive through very difficult times. Also, my business took a big hit from the recession, and being sick didn't help. There were a number of opportunities I could not take advantage of because of my illness. Once again, your understanding meant we were able to stick together as a creative team. The result is an amazing product, proof that Art surmounts all challenges!
I know and hope that the rich experiences you gained while working on Lockdown will serve you well in many situations to come. Feel wonderful, because you are powerful, talented and loved. Keep in touch and let me know how you go, where your life journeys lead you.
Finally, I want to let you know that we will remount the play in the Spring of 2010. Auditions are scheduled for January, and there will be workshops/rehearsals in April to take the script and production to the next stage. Performance dates are the last two weeks of May, 1st week of June. Let me know if you are interested in participating and I will keep you posted going forward.
All best wishes and much love,
Frances-Anne

Hi Frances Anne,
I am not speaking for the group but I feel they are with me on this. You are one of the strongest person I have ever seen, worked with and learnt from. Your leadership skill is unparallelled. The experience that I got from working in this project is not quantifiable, I was connected to young people around town in a special way that took me back to my younger days and opened my eyes to their reality and I respect and admire their courage more now than ever before. The wealth of knowledge gained about the school system is something I will carry on forever. And I am sure all my fellow performers grew with me in the process through your leadership and I thank you for that. You mean well for all around you, you are driven, you are intelligent, you are gifted and you are fulfilling one of the many reasons why you were placed here on earth. I can understand how tough it was to trudge through the recession because I experienced it myself
and I know you have been made stronger by it. All is well, believe that.
Now to my fellow lock downers, you all know you are the best team ever assembled, the most thoughtful team players on a course and good spirited friends of the art. You all gave dedication it's true meaning and should pat yourselves on the back. I thank you guys for teaching me a lot of things and I LOVE YOU ALL. Frances you know I love you too...so I don't have to say it.
I am interested in coming back and getting locked down again, all we need to work out is timing an scheduling. See you guys soon I am off to do MOBY DICK and would hopefully see you all sometime next year.
Kind regards to you all. Good LUCK in all you do.
Remain blessed.
Lucky
