Gosh, my first Jeff awards ever, and there I am standing on the stage with the rest of the folks involved in this production! I just got home and if I didn't have to go to work tomorrow I'd still be celebrating.
Congratulations to Kris Diaz (playwright), Eddie Torres (director), Desmin Borges (lead actor), David Woolley (fight choreographer) and everyone involved in the production. And Eddie got a 3 Arts award tonight, too! We love you, Eddie! Next up: Obies!
