To say I’m grateful is an understatement. So many things shaped last year. Prayers, tears, laughs, lessons, and a God-send conversation led to “Love, On Retreat.” Three script rewrites, one table read, fifteen rehearsals, fifty-leven character development sessions, 7,486 Hail Mary’s, and countless motivational speeches, texts, and hugs later: what started as words in my head became a living, breathing story—because six incredible actors said yes, and my village showed up in a real way (and yes… my friends and family told ME what they were going to do to help bring this to life. Excuse me, I’m just the playwright and director, I guess. jkjkjk 😂).

A month ago, we barely had tickets sold. Two weeks later: two sold out shows. WON’T HE DO IT. Y’all didn’t just come—you showed OWTTT.

I’m still taking in the love…the messages, the posts, the threats about that ending?

I’m usually the one in the corner, but this love has met me in the center. Thank you for supporting this labor of love…for every ticket, text, prayer, bouquet, card, and kind word. Truly! I am humbled and thankful!
