A few testimonials:

"Allison Jones could not have chosen a more apt name for her business, because an ally to the artist she most certainly is. She knows how to reach an audience, works tirelessly to meet your needs, appreciates and encourages you to focus on your performance, and goes out of her way to not only see your production, but to drive audiences to your show unt

il the curtain closes. She is reliable, efficient, professional, affordable and someone I am glad to call a friend. You won't regret it."
- Colleen Sutton
(Ottawa-based playwright & performer of 'RiderGirl': www.ridergirl.com)

"Allison Jones is truly an ally of the arts. Having her social media skills on my team for my nationwide touring solo show made all the difference in the world. Even from the other side of the country she was able to promote my show. Touring a show can be beyond stressful. Arts Ally is cheaper than a massage and effectively relieves the tension in your twitter filled mind."
- Izad Etemadi
(Vancouver & now Toronto-based playwright & performer of 'Borderland' & 'Love With Leila': www.izadetemadi.com)

"Allison Jones provided a steady stream of attention grabbing tweets and posts for my play at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival this year. She’s a pleasure to work with and provides thorough and excellent services at a very reasonable cost. You’d be a fool not to use her for all your publicity needs."
- Jim Sands
(Vancouver-based playwright & performer of 'Charlie: A Hockey Story': www.jim-sands.ca)

That’s a wrap 🌟

A massive congratulations to this extraordinary cast and crew of Jesus Christ Superstar. Words can’t fully capture the immense dedication, passion, and heart each of you brought to this production. From hours of rehearsals and behind the scenes creating, every single person contributed something invaluable, and together, something truly magical.

To our cast, your powerful performances left it all on stage night after night, and the way you embodied this story was nothing short of breathtaking. To our crew, your behind-the-scenes brilliance made the impossible seem effortless. This production would not have been the same without each of you pouring your energy, creativity, and hard work into every detail.

Big thank you to our amazing audience. Your kind words and support mean the world to us! From emails expressing how talented this extraordinary cast was, from comments and conversations about how this is the best rendition of Jesus Christ Superstar they have ever seen to being compared to the touring companies that have come through the GTA. We could not have done this without you.

Thank you, everyone, for making this journey unforgettable. Here’s to the magic that was made, and to all the memories we’ve shared along the way.

Until next time. 🌟💖🎉

UPDATE:

Unfortunately, today's Noon Hour Concert is cancelled. A musical movie will be shown instead.

"A Shawn Brush performance can get you grinning from ear to ear, maybe well up a tear or two, and more than likely get your feet stomping and your hands clapping. The man and his music have a quiet power that's difficult to put into words."

Shawn Brush The Krooked Cowboy performs at Central Library's Noon Hour Concert tomorrow, Friday, September 20.
