Nellie Mae Rowe is my mother in law’s great aunt. Her grandmother and Nellie were sisters. My mother in law spent many summers at Aunt Nellie’s house in Vinings. She and her brother currently have several original pieces of her art. I am just learning this awesome history today. I am blown away. Lol

I remember being a student at manifesto 13 when you guys filmed this and seeing this production when I was about 8 and now I'm 14 seeing the trailer of it hoping for it to be in Kuwait.
