Happy opening to the Rolling World Premiere production of Kelundra Smith's "Other Paths to God" at Horizon Theatre Company.

And I need to confess something as our Communications Director: Kelundra did a reading of part of this new play at our national convening last April in Sacramento, and I got SO ABSORBED that I forgot to take any pictures of her, the thing I walked in there to do. I'M SORRY, KELUNDRA. xoxo, Kate

Five nurses, $3 million, one crazy scandal...
