Say Yes!
Building bridges between Muslims, Christians, and Jews
New York City's Chorus of Actors
Just by listening you become an instrument of change
ActorCor was founded in February 2008 by Darren Lougée. SAY YES! was developed together with Robinson McClellen and 30 generous actors. The program celebrating the three Abrahamic faiths was premiered in 7 pre-theater concerts at teh Actor's Chapel in Times Square. ActorCor is a chorus of actors seeking, through collective imagination, to find new ways of living in a complicated world. Our first discovery is best described by Martin Luther King, Jr. "Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that."
We have some upcoming projects to tell you about.
