“I still think of the powerful performance that night. ‘A Lullaby for Ryan’
is GREAT for HIV history and gives each of us something to think about. I am
excited about bringing Jade back to Omaha and will make this happen.”
Gary Winingham
MPower Program Coordinator
Nebraska AIDS Project
“I have been hearing rave reviews from everyone who attended! We all
appreciated the humor, compassion, and truthful way in which you portrayed many
facets of this cause. We were all laughing with you and at ourselves and we
left feeling bonded by the experience. In your performance, history and humor
meld together to create a rich, insightful, and unforgettable experience. Your
dedication to each character makes it easy for the audience to sympathize
with some of the real faces behind HIV/AIDS, while allowing us to be carried
away by laughter at just the right times. We admire your ability to tap into
the human side of HIV and celebrate the stories of strength and courage that
inspire us all.”
Shelley Hayes
Executive Director
