Get Well Soon
Blake Lewis, Writer
After coming on board as a director for the inaugural year of A Light in Dark Places, Blake knew that he would love to continue to be able to help Kelly and the organization in whatever ways he could. Since then, he has written a couple different plays for the events, as well as serving on the board and play selection committee. He believes that the topic of suicide has been shrouded in secrecy and shame for far too long.
Blake also produced, wrote and acted in the recently released film Dylan and Zoey.
