[email protected] Program Notes Of the many precepts of mindfulness that the character Jade espouses, she doesn’t talk much about gratitude. Which is interesting, considering it’s the one I’ve felt most keenly throughout this process. Gratitude for Len Matheo, who not only selected the play for Miners Alley’s new season, but directed it so sensitively and helped make it a richer, more efficient script. Gratitude for the cast, Heather and Bill, who transcended so many challenges - condensed rehearsal schedule, difficult script, unconventional production style - to quite literally bring the char- acters to life, and so brilliantly. Gratitude for Bryanna, Johnathan, Liz, and Vance, the stage management and tech and design crew - the tireless behind-the-scenes artists who work so hard to make it all look so easy. Gratitude for Ray Bailey, for capturing the mo- ment and making the ephemeral concrete. Gratitude for ACES, for family, for providing not only support but bottomless inspiration. And most of all, gratitude to be back making theatre again. It’s been a long and trying year – with much yet to overcome. But through it all, I’m proud to be part of the Colorado theatre community. And, of course, forever grateful. Luke Sorge, Playwright About the Playwright Luke Sorge is incredibly fortunate to get to work with all these talent- ed artists at Miners Alley Playhouse on the world premiere of Zen & the Art of Profit.
