Benjamin Smith of D.R.E.A.M. Studios Signs on as Co-Director

When the Lord blesses you, he blesses you VERY well. After pushing forward with the development of my first stage play and conducting a couple of auditions to find my actors, I was still feeling the stress of being way out of my comfort zone as an author and motivational speaker, but with great support in the background, I was able to move forward with making my dream of adding play-write to my title. As of January 30^th, I was placed back into my comfort zone and my confidence to move forward shot through the roof. I am proud to announce that my Benjamin Smith of D.R.E.A.M. Studios has signed on to become the co-Director of the stage play. Like I said, when the Lord blesses you, he blesses you well. I now will be working closely with the ‘Tom Brady’ of performing arts in Springfield, MA.
