The play was made possible by executive producer Danny Virtue, a family friend and Hollywood North stunt coordinator who has worked on multiple locally-shot film and TV projects. Virtue has helped share Wright’s story for years through his Danny Virtue Foundation, and came through with the funds necessary to make Wright’s play a reality.
