Flapper!

Recycled Shakespeare Company actor Jakob Sutton (you may remember him as Lysander in Midsummer Night's Dream) will be appearing on stage at Lakewood Theater this month in the *Teen, Tech & Tour* production of Tim Kelly's 'Flapper' under the direction of Midge Merrill Pomelow of Midge's Theatre Arts Studio
First performance will be Saturday July 12th at 10am, with tickets available at the box office one hour before showtime. Then after a week of touring the musical numbers from the show at numerous convalescent & nursing homes in central Maine, they return to perform again upon the main stage Saturday July 19th at 10am.

Teacher Appreciation Week!

I had an absolutely wonderful walk to the mailbox this morning to find it half full of cards and notes from former 'students' celebrating *me* during teacher appreciation week! I feel so honored! Artful cards from the young, notes from students of ago updating me on their new projects, and even cards of thanks from fellow teachers sharing how they are using methods from my workshops in their own classrooms! Thank you one and all!
