I had the opportunity to work with the wonderful students at both Crossroads North and South in South Brunswick, NJ. It was a first for me – training two separate casts within the same rehearsal time and space. Although a little chaotic and very focused, we were able to come up with performances that were really powerful for everyone. Due to a tragedy in the school, we amended our performance little bit which caused some concern among the performers. Regardless of what was left out of the presentation, the message the kids presented was heard loud and clear from the audience members. Most rewarding to me was the fact that the kids remained focused and driven through a week of ups and downs while bringing everything they had to their performances.

It was an honor to work with these two dynamic groups and I know they made a hue impact on each other and their school community.
