Sean Sullivan
The magnificent brainchild of writer-performer Sean Sullivan, SBDC was set to open in Toronto at the Grand Canyon Theatre when the pandemic shut down the entire industry. Great art cannot be contained. I m not talking about BIG art, mind you. I m talking about GREAT art, created by great artists. Sullivan is a consummate theatre and film artist and a virtuosic physical performer. When I learned last spring that the production was canceled, I thought it was dead, because it featured commanding physical performances. Sullivan s genius gave him no rest, however, and he translated the production into an auditory feast.

Jewel Grew Up In Rural Alaska Without Running Water
Fans of 90s folk music definitely remember Jewel s breakout debut album
Pieces of You. The singer has been topping the
Billboard charts from time to time since she first hit the scene in the 90s, though these days she s focused on slowing down for herself and her family.
Jewel Kilcher grew up with humble beginnings outside of Homer, Alaska. Though she was born in Payson,
Utah, her family moved to Alaska when she was just a baby. Following her parents divorce when she was 8, she moved with her brother to a rural house with their father which had no indoor plumbing or heating. They had an outhouse, lived off the land, and essentially took care of themselves away from normal society.
