here's why I'm always going to love my boss, KD

When we were rehearsing for ANY of the incarnations of VOTE!, one of the most expensive components was rehearsal space. We're talking hundreds and thousands of dollars spent over years. Which, for a show with a budget, is fine. But when you're young and self-funded composers, every dollar counts.


In the early days, Steven would prop up his keyboard on the arms of a big chair in his tiny apt and we would rehearse with people while his dogs barked in the background. And we would not have been able to afford VOTE! at Minetta Lane last year if it weren't for the generosity of Lori Klinger and Rosie's Broadway Kids. 


Which is why it warmed my heart to learn right before I left Davenport that with our expanding office space, one section would be a rehearsal space. And! That Ken would graciously be allowing new writers and projects to use the space for FREE! 


I feel very proud to have worked for that awesome company, and awesome mentor (the dude really is a visionary) like Ken. Hopefully, with this added resource, more people can go from here:
