A Word from the Artistic Director
Thousands of years ago, people gathered at the majestic theatres of Greece to witness stories of love, beauty and truth unfold before their eyes.
An artist is a slave of his craft. His soul and his heart are the torches by which he lights his way as he heads on the mysterious road of art toward discovering his greater self. On his journey, his eyes are dazzled by the sparkling stars of imagination, his mind is educated with words of ageless wisdom which purify his soul and cause his heart to fear their awakening lessons. It is only after he reverently and loyally offers his entire being to his master that an artist is set free to wander the night in the house of dreams, unfolding before his audience the journey of his craft.
Today, Cedar production continues to embrace the sacred and magnificent elements of the theatre, finding its way to you, our loyal audience, to present work of spiritual meanings, with laughter to purify the soul, wisdom to educate the mind and feelings to embrace the beating heart.
As for you, our dear actors, for your dreams and visions, for your creativity and hard work, for your faith and commitment. For all this and much, much more, we thank you for making Cedar Production your house of dreams.
