Vocal Point Choir’s season is finished. We had a our Feelin’ Good spring concerts on May 31 and June 1. I couldn’t be at the May 31 concert, but I was there for the June 1 one. What an awesome feeling it is to sing with the choir! I love it. There’s something about the…
We opened our play Burn last night. After weeks of rehearsals. It’s funny because the audience is such an important ingredient to any show. They provide the extra something.
