Our Creed
“The creative act is not performed by the artist alone;”
Nor he or his crew has the will to reprehend the acts that follow; only through diligence and the practice of our craft do we bring honor and the liability to sustain the most immediate way in which our company can share the human senses to those outside it. We serve as a reminder of the forms and shapes we take, not only to entertain, but to redeem a memory never forgotten.
