Proud dad of Tara and equally proud of all the French Cafe cast and crew. Tara really achieves a personal inside look at the relationships among the performers.
I worked with the whole Sprung team as the venue producer and without doubt French Cafe is the absolute highlight of my time at The Brunswick Picture House. I will never forget it and always hold the Sprung team dear to me. Thanks you so much.
