A Finished Heart  venues have ranged from small classrooms, libraries and conference rooms with basic florescent lights to black box theaters and large church sanctuaries with theatrical lighting.  No stage or set is required. I simply bring a few props. Using recorded music, I control all digital cues as I perform so no additional personnel at an audio board is required during the show.  It's helpful to have someone available to fade lights out at the end if possible, but that's not required. Please contact me with any questions.
