I have seen their productions at other locations throughout the city, but unfortunately the facilities and cast talent in past productions has been less than stellar.

Professional artist and potter, Valentine Parker is making an impression in clay by volunteering hundreds of hours to throw 500 bowls on a pottery wheel for a special event, Empty Bowls: Kids Feeding Kids. Empty Bowls is a grassroots movement started by a group of Michigan high school students to fight hunger and the concept has spread internationally. Valentine is characteristically modest about her ambitious endeavor and said, 'I wanted to do something meaningful to celebrate my birthday by giving a gift to someone else. I realized one person could make a difference'. Her original thought was to throw a 100 bowls, invite a few friends over for a party to glaze them for the Houston Food Bank. Valentine mentioned her idea to staff at Katy Visual & Performing Arts Center (KVPAC) where she teaches clay classes, and the project exploded from 100 to 500 bowls and into a large scale Katy area community service project. Valentine said, 'I can't think of a better way to spend my time'.
