First SCCT Show
My first show at SCCT was Oklahoma!. I was there to see one of my voice students. I am thrilled so many of them have been cast in musicals and plays at SCCT. That is what brought me through the doors.And yes- I have been to performances there where none of my students were cast. Although now that I am in Shelbyville those are few and far between. Thank you SCCT for giving them so many opportunities!

Favorite Things to Do
I love visiting family and traveling to see new places…and hopefully not for business! My favorite recent jaunt was to Laurel, Mississippi. My goodness! I did not know I had such a crush on Ben Napier until I met him in person! Did you know that it is the birthplace of Leontyne Price, and there is a small park dedicated to her in the downtown area? They also have a lovely community theater with a gorgeous historic building similar to ours!
