DANCES-PLAYS-EVENTS

 

 

Planting seeds. Honing skills. Deepening our budding friendships. Setting the stage for the futures we could only imagine.

 

If you look carefully at these photos, the people we have become are already working their way to the surface. It didn’t matter if it was a play (usually with the best comic timing - looking at you, Murray Horwitz), or the design sets for our plays, our choreographed dances, or any events, in hindsight it’s clear who we were becoming.

 

Go ahead. Indulge yourself. Look at all these programs and photos. Isn’t it wonderful to peer at these past moments with lenses of our current knowledge, and to see with fresh eyes, who and what we are today, for our friends, our families and each other?
