"Ms. Anspaugh’s “Armed Guard Garden” draws the viewer in immediately and never lets go. In silence, the lights dawn slowly. We make out a figure — no, two.

Congrats to Vanessa Anspaugh, Jen Rosenblitz on creating two beautiful pieces.
Congrats to Vanessa's incredible dancers, my beautiful girlfriend Aretha Aoki,  Niall Jones, Molly Lieber,   Lydia Okrent and Mary Read.
Congrats to Cassie Maud Peterson who offered conceptual collaboration.
Congrats to Emily Roysdon for her wonderful costumes.
Congrats to the lighting designer Vincent Vigilante.
Congrats to the Dramaturge Susan Mar Landau.
and to Jen's dancer Addy's Gonzalez.
