Look forward to some major growth as we establish ourselves as a household name by making dreams come true. Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday "Wide Open"

Today is November 20, 2011 exactly one year ago "Wide Open" debuted at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in downtown Hartford. I have split feelings about it though. I am happy because that was one the best nights and experiences of my life to date and in a short amount of time we were able to accomplish so much but on the flip side of it I am perplexed because the tour had to be delayed. I thought that by now we would have done at least 20 shows but we haven't. There is so much work that goes into putting together a tour and the fact that I was basically doing all the work myself didn't help. One thing I will say is that I have learned a lot about people and politics through this whole experience.

There are some people that I must give a special shout out to...John, Tracy, Maurice, and Tarishi, when this tour gets picked up know that you will be the first people that I call. You all have continued to encourage, support and push me to keep "Wide Open" going. We have been through this together from day one and I appreciate you so very much for that. Let's take it to the top. I want to thank all the people who came out to see the shows. You have made this a life changing experience. I only pray that you were touched the way you touched all of us. I want to thank all of our sponsors and the venues who believed in us and supported us the show's would not have went up without you. Most of all I want to thank God for this visions and giving me the strength to get it off the ground.

A year later I find myself more focused then I've ever been. Smarter, wiser, cautious and in-tune with what is what. I have been preparing for something monumental. What is about to happen is going to change my life forever. The world will soon know my name. This fire that is burning inside me is in an uproar and about to become a California wild fire. I have proven to myself that I am an actress, writer, publisher, C.E.O., producer, director, mentor, poet, host. But now it is time to prove it to the world and what I have been working on is going to blast off. Hold on to your hats it's about to get REAL!


Thank you to everyone who helped make this dream a reality!

"Wide Open" Preview on Fox 61 Morning Show

We have gotten so much support for the Encore performance of "Wide Open". On Monday January 31, 2011 I was on the morning show with leading man Tarishi "MIDNIGHT" Shuler to give a preview of the show. The interview with Sarah French went very well. Tarishi and I pushed our nerves to the side and performed a slightly risky piece to grab everyone's attention. Now all roads ahead to the show!!! 3 Days in counting... Below is our segment that aired live.

"Wide Open" Encore

Aetna Theater at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art Welcomes Back
“WIDE OPEN” Stage Play for two Encore performances!

After a phenomenal performance by Shireal Renee and the entire cast the Wide Open stage play was left with a standing ovation. The Wadsworth Atheneum’s, Curator of Film and Theater, Debbie Gaudet said with much enthusiasm, “This show should be on Broadway…” Debbie has invited the production back for an encore performance in the Aetna Theater on February 5th and 6th 2011; show will run 7pm on Saturday and 2pm on Sunday. This time around former president of the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art and Travelers Foundation John H. Motley will host both nights.

Wide Open is an unconventional one-woman show, there are other actors on stage at various times but the main character Renee is the only one with a speaking role; the other incredibly talented actors play Renee’s thoughts expressing them through interaction and dance movements. The plot is a poetic journey through a young woman’s life as she battles with growing pains, adversity and suffers through an abusive relationship, finally turning to God to help her get through. The show is comical, heartfelt, spiritual, universal and timeless with a hopeful message that anyone can relate to.

Fox 61’s Stan Simpson says, “It was a very powerful show”, “Spectacular!” says audience member Jami, “Encore Please…”was requested from viewer Marsha and rave reviews go on and on from those in attendance. The success of the event also allowed for Wide Open to give a charitable donation in support a local organization Hope 4 Autism. A group bringing support and awareness to children and family’s who have been affected by Autism.

With all the wonderful things coming from this show it was an absolute MUST for an encore performance! The Wadsworth Atheneum’s Aetna Theater is the perfect host for this event the museum is a historical landmark in Hartford and it is opening its doors to breathe life into a vision created by a hometown artists; the Executive Producer, Writer and Star of the show Shireal Renee. With the red carpets, trumpets and entertaining intermission theater goers will be engulfed in the Wide Open experience from the moment the step out of their cars. This show is guaranteed to touch the hearts of everyone in attendance. For more information or to purchase tickets visist www.byreneevisions.com
