According to co-director/producer and performer Jeremy Haig, "It is our hope to share the great work being made by young people, especially those who were raised on the Cape, have been branching out, becoming inspired on a wider scale, and honing their artistic skills and aesthetic.  Now the opportunity to return to share these gifts and connections with the community that supported their growth, coming full-circle."  Co-director/producer Meghan Carmichael commented further, "There is no greater gift than to share innovative works by these professional and pre-professional artists in a way that is not often presented in this area.  We wish to expose those interested in emotive, personal modes of expression, to a different way of looking at art in performance, ultimately exploring how we connect with each other in our human experience."
