The Halloween Show was a great success. Spooky, bizarre, exquisite, provoking. Every scene held something different for the audience to experience as they journeyed to the sycamore grove, a burial site for the grandmother. The pictures in this post are screenshots that capture moments from the evening's performance. Video will be uploaded soon. Mark your calendars for the Valentines show on Feb 14th, the next OBLSK produced show.

The World Central Kitchen is an incredible program that delivers meals to countries in disaster situations. They have set up relief kitchens in South Gaza as well as delivering meals in North Gaza. The World Central Kitchen is not only delivery aid but innovating stoves and cooking wares for the people of Palestine that function efficiently without propane or fuel which is not allowed in through the border crossings. The World Central Kitchen is also in Isreal supporting the families of the Hamas attacks. We are proud to donate to such a cause.

Your donation will help to provide fresh meals for those in need after disasters, and build long-term resilience in affected communities.
