A great example of ART FOR HUMANITY that I have coming up is IDEAL.
IDEAL is a play by Ayn Rand , enjoying its NYC premiere in America's Off-Broadway Theater Festival this June. It is the first Off-Broadway venture by my theater company, Fresh Ground Pepper. I am a Co-Producer of this piece of theater, directed by my colleague Jenny Beth Snyder. The play runs from June 17th to July 3rd and is really going to be epic.
It's about a beautiful Hollywood starlet who is accused of murder. She roots through her fan mail and finds six sincere letters from six individuals. Each individual is a different archetype from Great Depression America. She confronts each individual seeking help and, when they fail her, throws a mirror up to them, exposing the constant hypocrisy of America's belief systems. Can she find a person who really lives according to his or her beliefs?

“And who -- in this damned universe -- can tell me why I should live for anything but for that which I want? Who can answer?"
