It was written as an original one-man show written and performed by Warren Lee Snipe to affirm the way Black Deaf Jewish male seems himself, his ancestry and roots, recount some of the wrongs that have been visited upon him and express some of his hopes and dreams.

He is also Vice-President of Invisible Hands, Inc. and has ob tained training at Central Stage, Source Theatre, Folger Shakespeare Theatre, Gallaudet Unit, National Deaf Dance Theatre and DuPont Alley Dance Company. She is also a thirtysomething actress in Hollywood, still fighting to get work in a town that eats up thirtysomething actresses.
