Bye Purge! and thank you all!

Purge! has come to an end. I want to focus on a few other endeavors and continue to tell stories at other shows, as well as happily continue co producing my favorite show: The Soundtrack series.

I want to thank each one of you for making Purge so special, every guest and every audience member.

Farewell Purge, till next time.
A big hug and kiss,
Bridge
