"FEELING GOOD - The Cabaret" Director /Co-Creator/Co-Writer
In 2004, Shelley Hamilton was asked to present a show at the Halifax Fringe Festival. We decided to base her one woman show on her then newly released CD "Feeling Good". We co-wrote monologues based on her personal experiences to link the songs, and created a show that she will be able to book out for years to come. "Feeling Good" was featured at The Hamilton Fringe Festival summer 2006 to rave reviews.
