NEWSLETTER UPDATE


"Antigone" Tonight at HGHS

And my son is in it!  He seemed quite calm when I dropped him off at 5PM.  I, on the other hand, have given a perfunctory glance at the newsletter and will give it a more thorough update tomorrow when my nerves are calmer...maybe you'll join me at the show!

FRIDAY UPDATE:  The opening night went fabulously!  There's nothing like a good Greek Tragedy (albeit with a modern slant) to cheer one up!  Here's the rest of the newsletter!
