The Blood They Shed
In my short-lived life, I’ve been blessed with many great friends and family…people from all walks of life and individuals talented in so many regards.
As it relates to the arts, I was first introduced to the theater element at my very own Taylor Tot’s Playhouse (a blog post forthcoming on the significance and legacy). Fast fwd to high school, I was introduced to a young man in my [St. Bernard's High School] graduating class of ’98 by the name of Aaron White.
Aaron always took the arts very seriously…even impressed me enough to seek out his knowledge and experience in helping CLIMB develop a CLIMB Youth Performing Arts Academy. Nowadays, you can find Mr. Aaron White spearheading a movement of consciousness, with very enlightening one-man performances highlighting the journey and struggle of “our people.”
Upon hearing of the new production, I made a surprise visit in Winter of 2005, and to my knowledge, this same performance has received rave reviews and national recognition. With that said, I’d encourage you to not only embrace the arts, but also lend yourself the experience of opening your mind to other outings and happenings (especially here in LA)…in the meantime, I give you Aaron White’s The Blood They Shed.
