A word from The Shower Song's Director and Producer:
Life is short.
The Shower Song communicates thoughts and values the many, but if I want the audience to come out with just one, it’s that we must do the best we can, to summon and express the greatest happiness humanely possible, with the limited time we have. We must also do good, and never give up.
To all the participating talents who believed in me and in the project, it was a sheer privilege working with performers of such magnitude. To my crew, my friends and my family who supported me, cheers to you, my loved ones. Finally, a special thank you to two dear friends who held my hands along the way and when I needed it most to see The Shower Song through – Giuseppe Cristarella & Salma Zein Al Abdin!
