It’s been more than ten years since the evening I spent in heated conversation with a small group of theatrical dreamers.

Do You Know Prudence?
Perhaps you’ve heard of Prudence Mabhena, read about her in the Sunday paper, heard the story on NPR, caught the film about her at the Telluride Film Festival, or saw her beaming at the Oscars when Music by Prudence won Best Documentary.
