Artistic Statement

"American Theologian and Activist Harold Thurman Once Said: 'Don’t Ask What the World Needs. Ask What Makes You Come Alive, and Go Do It. Because What the World Needs are People Who Have Come Alive.' Daniel Guyton... Does This with His Life. He Does What Makes Him Come Alive and It Inspires All Those Around Him... Some People Change the World with Great Inventions or Foundations, Daniel Changes the World and Inspires Others Through Who He Is [as] a Person and His Gift as a Story Teller and Playwright. He Addresses Social Issues in his Playwriting that Most People Look at and Then Simply Look Away. Through Humor and Sensitivity He Has Given Voices to the Voiceless in our Society. His Unique and Compelling Style Make Us Not be Able to Look Away from our Communal Woes Such as Teen Pregnancy, Racism, Mental Health Problems, Homophobia and More. He Does this with Humor and Grace and Ultimately Compassion. He Has a Lot to Say to the World and He is Just Beginning." - Jenifer Kelly, University of Georgia
