Program Notes
There are those who have hidden their lies, their secret lives, their back-stabbing and cheating... Under Cover of Night. Still yet, there are those who have struggled through the Night, working without rest, in the hope that morning would bring a new and wonderful Light. In all cases, Night eventually gives way to the promise of Day.
