AWAKE AND SING
by Clifford Odets was directed by Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson and performed April 5-7 & 11-13, 2013
Synopsis – from A Noise Within Study Guide: "The Berger family apartment in the Bronx houses three generations in the same working-class Jewish family. It is in this apartment that Bessie Berger, indomitable matriarch, oversees the lefist leanings of her father Jacob, and attempts to influence the romantic yearnings of her son (Ralph) and potential matches for her daughter (Hennie). When the seemingly inescapable poverty of the Great Depression forces Bessie to rent out a room in the apartment to petty bookie and World War I veteran Moe Axelrod, she encounters a new challenge as he positions himself as suitor to young Hennie. Hennie has her own ideas for love — ideas which, when pursued, lead to serious consequences.
Bessie attempts to protect her family from high hopes and fruitless idealism, grounding her perceptions of reality in the cold truth of struggle. However, the Berger family has a will of its own and does not always support Bessie’s iron-fisted policies, as those who seek to provide a sense of freedom and hope for Ralph and Hennie enact their own redemptive yet heartbreaking plans."
Wake up ! Wake up ! The soldiers are coming. The band of Outlaws scrambled to get up and tried to thrown of their camel skin cloaks. facing them was a small grubby child holding an ancient short sword. Each outlaw realised they had been drugged in their sleep by the stranger from an unknown land. Quickly they reached for their weapons and disarmed the youngster standing before them. What was going to happen next ? You must believe me your'e all in great danger !
I diced do stay awake all night. And I did. Sometimes sleeping seems like a waste of time. But I still love it. lol
my face looks strange...
Surviving cancer and using art as a tool for healing, reflection and understanding has infused my art with a sense of energy and optimism that has a universal appeal. The process of making the art as well as the meaning of it, are both an integral part of the end result and for me there is always a battle to harmonize between the two – to evoke the emotion of the piece and to empower the viewer.
I love combining traditional and new media painting techniques where one feeds off the energy of the other. The visual collaboration of both medias often celebrates a bold expressionism and optimistic edge regardless of subject matter.
My work has evolved from a mashing of referenced pop art and iconic imagery into elaborate multilayered portraits and scenes that depict a more personal interpretation of my life experience, battles and passions. My goal is to lead the observer to dramatic action, putting them on the edge between what we know and what is unknowable. I’ve learned that something new will always come about when you push hard enough and the result is the revelation of a “new identity”.
The motivation for me to keep going is to gain an understanding of how this “new identity or rebirth or truth” actually reflects my life as well as the world we live in – or not.

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

EXCERPT from:
trumpetcallofgodonline.com/index.php5?title=I_Am_Calling_...
Therefore the earth shall rise up against the sons of men, and nature shall
break forth in its fury and fight against them, until all in the earth grow
weary and the heart of this people is torn... *A rent which is deep, a rent
made wide!* The earth shall shake and rumble from beneath, the cities shall
break apart and the towers shall be toppled, and the glory of man shall be
utterly broken down!... *Behold, the blood of the slain shall cry out from
the ground, and the blood of the innocent shall be remembered, when The
Lord God strikes the earth with plague and famine and the waters turn to
blood! For the generation of God’s wrath shall be shaken, the generation of
His fury shall be broken without hand! Behold, the storm is already
overhead, the whirlwind breaks forth from the midst of the clouds! SEEK
SHELTER! For the hand of The Lord is turned against the sons of men, and
the arm of The Lord is stretched out against the inhabitants of the earth!*
*Therefore, thus says The Lord:* Beloved, I have spoken to you firmly, and
with a stern voice I have declared the controversy of The Lord; with a
multitude of words and unending mercy, I have spoken and shall continue to
speak. For I am The Lord, I change not; I do what is right, I alone know
what is most needful. Thus I have called for a right heart within My
servants, and I require My people to walk in My ways without reservation,
yet no pure works follow. Yes, I have called for works befitting a servant
of The Lord, yet the works of My disciples last only for a moment, then
quickly pass away... *Works done out of obligation, works without trust,
fruitless endeavors performed for the sake of pretense, in a vain effort to
keep the door open!* For My people have not known Me, neither do they have
any love for God in their hearts; self-preservation is their only
concern!... *BELOVED, AWAKE! Awake from your slumber! Awaken your hearts to
The Majesty on High! Embrace the full revelation of WHO I AM, of all I have
done! For The Word of The Lord flows like water, My love runs pure!
Therefore embrace My words and receive of My love, that it may flow from My
heart through yours, that you may be filled with My spirit to the bearing
of much fruit in The Beloved!*
Therefore hear and understand, receive of this word and write this wisdom
in your heart, for upon these words does all life, all knowledge, and all
truth rest, even by which all things consist: *I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND
THE LIFE!*
