“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 Jade portrayed many  
facets of this cause.  We were all  laughing with him and at ourselves and we 
left feeling bonded by the  experience.   
In his performance, history and  humor meld together to create a rich, 
insightful, and unforgettable experience.  Jade’s 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 his 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 
Yellowstone AIDS Project
