Hart-Green's "Come Back For Me" is a gripping story of loss, trauma, and the redemptive power of love set in the aftermath of World War II.

"Come Back For Me" tells the tale of Artur Mandelkorn, a young Hungarian Holocaust survivor whose desperate quest to find his sister takes him to post-war Israel. Intersecting Artur's journey is that of Suzy Kohn, a Toronto teenager whose seemingly tranquil life is shattered when her uncle's sudden death tears her family apart, leading her to a rocky relationship with a musician. Their stories eventually come together in Israel following the Six-Day War, where love and understanding become the threads that bind the two narratives together. Recorded 22.09.2019

Perhaps best known for his long-running role as Richard Bay on ABC's The Practice, he has also made appearances in over 50 television shows, including The Big Bang Theory, The Deuce, Kimmy Schmidt, and even the last episode of Friends. With no script, no songs, no story, Jason keeps the crowd on the edge of its collective seat by regularly pulling audience suggestions from a fishbowl (e.g. “The last text you received,” “Words to live by,” etc.) to create an entire life story in song, with every bit of it — including every lyric and melody — made up on the spot!

Hive Group UK is a family run business that has developed a truly unique range of pure CBT based programmes to support people with experiences that can prove to be disadvantageous. The Hive, in the natural world is the most productive and successful organisational structure, I believe that humans have a lot to benefit from adopting a Hive psychology. In a Hive every component is connected and supportive of the other components. As each component is strengthened, the other components benefit and the Hive grows. The bigger the Hive, the more successful it becomes and the cycle of development continues. If this approach could be adopted by humans, I believed that we would all develop a stronger inner sense of core skills that would build a greater resilience that can improve the chances for a positive outcome.
