The Story Behind Our Name:

"To Venetians bridges are transitions. We go over them very slowly. They are part of the rhythm. They are the links between two parts of a theater, like changes in scenery, or like the progression from Act One of a play to Act Two. We cross from one reality….to another reality; from one setting….to another setting. What is true? What is not true? The answer is not so simple, because truth can change. I can change. You can change. That is the Venice Effect." -- John Berendt

Our Message for 2008:

Tonights lesson is rhythm.

The driving force that holds our lives together.

Passion, Dedication, and Inspiration.

We do not stop playing because we grow older; we grow older because we stop playing.

Laugh and find humor everyday.

Dream.

Find the opportunity in change.

I can change.

You can change.

That is the Venice Effect.
