Bootleg Radio is a Tumblr: bootleg-radio.tumblr.com“One of the most invigorating things of any stripe I’ve seen on a stage all year.”
– Richard Sanford, Columbus Underground
“Everyone in the ensemble conveys humanity with undertones of sadness while wondering how to remain hopeful in a world that could use more kindness. Yes, it could.”
– Michael Grossberg, Columbus Dispatch
HOPE: What it is? Where does it come from? Who has it? Where can I get some?
No statements, only questions.
