Recording Scenario and Facts with Legendary Producer Skiilz, Buffalo, NY
This story is about two girls, Destiny Storm and Rose Desire who are both going for the same dream they dreamed together in front of a New York brownstone. They have been friends since they were young children. They sang together, danced together and promised to be there for each other till the end of time, but life always takes its turn, sometime for the good and sometime for the bad. After a tragic family accident, Destiny’s father sends her to the prestigious Deveaux's School of Performing Arts which has produced some of this generations greatest stars. Rose and Destiny lose contact for a while until eventually Rose also gets accepted to Deveaux. This is where the girls reunite not as friends but as rivals, as the Destiny that Rose once knew, has gone to the dark side. Here their friendship is tested as they are both introduced to the evils of the music industry in the quest to live out their dreams. The next star is about to emerge from Deveaux’s school and Rose and Destiny are on a collision course to see if friendship matters more than fame.

Capital DC Presents... has rebranded himself as an Artist to inspire and motivate other serious artists.
After 5 years away from Directing live theater, Don "Capital DC" Capers will be showcasing the talents of the students of Buffalo Academy of Visual and Performing Arts with Daniel Sullivan's, Inspecting Carol.
A Christmas Carol meets The Government Inspector meets Noises Off in this hilarious hit from Seattle. A man who asks to audition at a small theatre is mistaken for an informer for the National Endowment for the Arts. Everyone caters to the bewildered wannabe actor and he is given a role in the current production, A Christmas Carol. Everything goes wrong and hilarity is piled upon hilarity. Perfect anytime, this delight is particularly appropriate at Christmas.
