It has been a pleasure to see the arts develop at Marist in recent decades. Since the early 1980’s we have introduced AP Art History, AP Music Theory, and AP Studio Art. We have seen the theater program come to an ambitious five productions a year, a fact that sometimes gives pause to high school directors. We have maintained the unique requirement of musical participation in 7th and 8th grades, as well as continued the marching band tradition against the independent school tide.

We have taken choruses to sing in Europe and Carnegie Hall, art students to far-flung corners of the globe, and drama students for enriching fare in New York City. The school’s literary publication, the Rapier, has garnered national awards for its literary and artistic content.

There is now a digital media lab within the art studios. There are regular recordings of choral CD’s and a great swelter of production in the visual arts and photography. Graduates are building on their Marist backgrounds with majors in music performance, drama, art, dance, design, and art history. And, of course, there is much more than this.

Marist has been blessed to have program directors and teachers in the various areas who have set high standards and offered students opportunities for enjoyable camaraderie along with the deep satisfaction that comes from honing one’s talents. Department chair Michael Bieze marks 25 years this year at Marist and 24 years as Fine Arts Department Chair. For the leadership Michael has rendered, for the support of the Arts Guild, and the inventiveness of our teachers, I give thanks.

Father Joel Konzen, S.M.Principal

“The arts are an essential element of education, just like reading, writing, and arithmetic…music, dance, painting, and theater are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishment.”

- William Bennett, former US Secretary of Education

Before I became involved in MAG, I, like most parents, thought that the band uniforms simply appeared pressed in the closets, the stage sets were miraculously constructed, and the paints were all freshly stored by color in the cabinets. I never really gave much thought to the efforts behind the scenes. But having been on the MAG Board for the past four years, I am constantly reminded of the power of a committed group of individuals. We’ve all seen the end results from the talented students on countless occasions. What being involved in MAG has reminded me of is that every brush stroke, every nail head and every stitch on a costume transforms our student actors into “thespians”. Every clean uniform and knowing that the instruments “will arrive” allows our students to concentrate on marching in unison while not missing a note or beat. I now know that the choral dresses and tuxedos are funded by MAG. The little extras that help let the “show go on” – funded by MAG. The digital arts studio that inspires a young photographer to pursue a dream – in part, funded by MAG. MAG even helps support students in their summer work associated with the arts through available scholarship funds. And, these are just a few examples of the “MAG difference.” We dedicate The MAGazine to all at Marist who help guide our children and who share in the love of the arts. We celebrate our talented Marist Family – teachers, parents, students and alumni!

Barbara HeathPresident, Marist Arts Guild

Producing this MAGazine over the last two years has been pure joy. It has allowed me to live inside the special world that my son loved so much while he was here. I have had the pleasure of meeting so many talented members of the Marist family- from fascinating alumni to committed parents to our extraordinary Fine Arts faculty. It has introduced me to Scott Tredeau, our highly creative designer, who has shared my passion for these pages. I am indebted to Ginny Allman, who makes ad sales look easy, to Sam Evans, who has spent countless unpaid hours photographing our subjects, and to Kate Perry-Johnson, who helped pull it all together. My hope is that this publication will inspire you to give of your time, treasure and talent to the Marist Fine Arts Guild. Don’t wait for a personal invitation- call one of the Board Members listed on page 2 to see how you can contribute. Picasso once said that every child is an artist- the problem is how to remain one as an adult. Here’s your chance!.

About the Cover:Senior Daniel Gutowski, an AP Studio Art student, created the 2011 cover. Daniel has been drawing all of his life, but only recently decided to pursue illustration and graphic design as a career path. He used Prismacolor ink markers to project the lively creativity inherent in all four art forms represented in the cover image and says the organic reference of the mushrooms-as-horn pistons is meant to imply that nature is often an underlying inspiration for art. Daniel, himself, is inspired by the abstract work of Salvador Dali and the colorful expression of J.M.W. Turner. He has been accepted to the Savannah College of Art & Design, and has also applied to The California College of the Arts in San Francisco and the Ringling School of Art & Design in Sarasota.

“Mr. DeAngelis is one of the most creative and interesting people I have ever met.

Everyone talks about how cool Mr. D is. My class made a Facebook group dedicated to

him. What makes him so well liked is his constant encouragement and artistic insight. I

aspire to be half the artist that he is.”

- Caroline Bagley

Mr. Buckner is quirky and weird, but his classes love his sense of humor and odd

habits. He can see and develop talent in his students, and bring out their artistic

abilities. He has inspired in me a burning passion for ceramic arts. His support and

guidance challenges me to push my creativity past accepted norms into a deeper

understanding of forms.

- Elliott Wiegand

“Dr. Bieze is an awesome teacher. I remember feeling a little smarter every day when I

walked out of his class, which is something unique. He’s a teacher who knows all the

ins and outs of Art History and much more, yet he is also a teacher anyone can have an

engaging conversation with.”

- Frannie Gordon

Mark Craddock

“Mr. Craddock invests a sincere interest in every student he encounters. He is

a great teacher, but the relationships he builds define him. Whether discussing

foreign languages, TV, history, or Broadway musicals, Mr. Craddock’s capacity for

conversation, sense of humor, and radiant disposition transform his students. His

tenacious work ethic and benevolent personality have influenced me as a musician

and gained me a friend.”

- Shane Connolly

“I would have to thank Mr. Sparrowhawk for almost everything I have learned as a musician so far. Whether he’s instructing me on the correct way to play or I’m just watching him play a song on the marimba during a water break at marching band practice, it has always been easy to learn from Mr. Sparrowhawk.”- Tim Vaughan

“Mr. Derringer inspires me with his love for piano and singing. After school he is always

playing piano flawlessly and finishing with, ‘Wow, that’s really cool! I love this piece!’ We

jam to our favorite songs, often Jamie Cullum, as if we haven’t a care. I’ve loved having his

friendship and Marist wouldn’t have been as meaningful without him.”

- Clark Helman

“Mr. McNaughton is an integral part of Marist theatre. Armed with humor, passion, and wit, he easily connects with students, and helps us connect with our characters. He pushes us to find our character’s deepest desires, to mine ever deeper for that comedy gold. He is a brilliant theater technician, his sounds and lighting elevating Marist theatre into the sublime.”- Brendan Hickey

“Mrs. Stadler pours her heart and soul into the theater productions. She organizes set

construction, costumes, and choreography with buckets of enthusiasm. Bringing all of

these pieces together, Mrs. Stadler creates a picture on stage making the show something

better than normal high school plays. Mrs. Stadler has shown me that with a little hard

work and a little bit of sass one can accomplish wonders.”

- Megan Klar

“Mrs. Coheley is dedicated heart, soul, and voice to every song sung at Marist. Whether preparing for concerts, teaching a number to a show’s cast, conducting the Spring Musical, or readying students for All State Choir, she is committed to making each performance our best. She has a fun, relaxed side that many, including myself, have come to know and enjoy.”- Alyssa Boehnlein

Marist students were the focus of a December Atlanta Journal Constitution story about the “Glee Effect,” suggesting that high school students are now gravitating toward Choral Arts because of the award-winning television show. While we were thrilled to get the ink, we all know that a love for singing is nothing new for Marist students. Mrs. Sharon Coheley is celebrating her 19th year at the helm of this program, which includes 10 choral groups, several musical theatre performances, annual concerts, competitions and an active Music Ministry that supports spiritual life.

One thing that did make this year unusual, however, was the much anticipated Sr. High Christmas Concert, which was cancelled for the first-time ever due to icy road conditions. Alumni still had the chance to join in the “Carol of the Bells” tradition by attending a school assembly later in the week when the weather improved.

The Christmas season was busy for Choral Arts as The Chamber Choir, Marist Singers, and Quartet performed at the Woodruff Arts Center before the Alliance Theatre’s performance of A Christmas Carol on December 9th and at the Wassail Ball at the Cherokee Town Club the following evening. The Marist Singers,

an auditioned jazz ensemble that earns honors credit, includes Hayes Callaway, Braden Finch, Clark Helman, Brendan Hickey, Becky Ittner, Alyssa Boehnlein, Shelby Curren, Maria Biasucci, Margaret Miller, Beth McNamara, Meredith Arra, Ansley Hobbs, and Ben Thornton.

Another new twist was the “keytar” that MAG purchased for Assistant Choral Director Brock Derringer to use in his classes while rehearsing. The instrument, which looks much like a Rock n’ Roll concert guitar when strapped on, allows the teacher to walk around the classroom playing parts if needed. This also gives the teacher the ability

to hear voices more closely. “The keytar brings new life and excitement to the

choral rehearsal when I decide to use it during class,” he says. “Everything is so visual with students nowadays, so it’s nice that they

can see their parts being played on the keytar. Plus, having the capability of playing the occasional shredding guitar solo is a fun perk, too!”

Eight of the 28 Marist students who tried out for All State Chorus passed two difficult rounds of auditions and advanced on to perform in Savannah. The competition was more challenging than those of past years, since the scoring assessment shifted from a subjective to a technical assessment. Participants included Alyssa Boehnlein (5th year); Becky Ittner (5th year); Natalie Boehnlein (3rd year); Brendan Hickey (2nd year ); Sierra Williams ( 2nd year); Lauren Whittaker (2nd year); Kyle Murdy (1st year); and Bryce Finch (1st year). Bryce earned the highest score for Marist in a first-time audition with a score of 97 out of 100.

The Girls Trio (Becky Ittner, Alyssa Boehnlein, Shelby Curren) and Quartet (Hayes Callaway, Braden Finch, Clark Helman, Brendan Hickey) and soloists Allysa Boehnlein and Brendan Hickey represented Marist at the Regional Literary Competition in early March.

Choral Arts will continue to make tracks as the year winds up. On April 13 Marist choral groups perform before an Atlanta Braves game, and later in the month, 24 students travel to New York for choral workshops and Broadway shows. The Concert Choir visits Orlando in May in order to participate in some Disney Choral Workshops. According to Mrs. Coheley, plans are already under way for a European concert tour for next year.

This year was no exception as the department mounted three fall shows and prepared for two spring musicals. This season features works that emphasize lighthearted fun, allowing the actors to explore slapstick comedy and other techniques. It all kicked off last August with rehearsals for The Government Inspector, a witty comedy by Nikolai Gogol that the directors found via the Milwaukee Repertory Theater. The story, set in a Russian village in 1836, featured a hilarious cast of characters, a bit of mystery and stunning original costumes. Many hands pitched in to build the set, with scenic design provided by Bob Reimer and Chris Hickey, and construction supervised over six weeks by Neil MacLean.

After a two-week break, the crew was back at it, preparing for the wacky one-act musical, Lucky Stiff, which opened for two nights in early December. This was the third time Marist mounted the show, so sets and costumes were pulled from storage, freshened up and put into action once again to the delight of audiences.

Foundations drama students worked with the Choral Department to prepare a Christmas Performance that featured holiday-themed selections from film, television, and literature, accompanied by compatible holiday music from the Foundations Choral groups. This presentation rehearsed only eight times, and was designed to provide a bit of an introduction to speaking, memorizing, and basic staging.

In mid-October, Sr. High students auditioned for Guys and Dolls and began rehearsing the Tony-winning megahit in January. The musical is one of the most successful Broadway shows of

all time, and it’s also been a perennial favorite at Marist where it was also staged in 1995 and 2001. Film buffs may remember that Sam Goldwyn bought motion picture rights to the story for $1 million and created the film version featuring Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando.

“We chose Guys and Dolls this year because it is light-hearted and fun,” said Director Stefanie Stadler. “Our last four spring musicals have all dealt with tragedy in some form, so we thought we’d brighten things up a bit this year.”

In May, the 7th, 8th and 9th grade students will perform Seussical, Jr., a one-act amalgamation of many of Dr. Seuss’ famous children’s books. Be sure to save the dates of May 5-7 to see our younger actors breathe new life into beloved characters such as The Cat in the Hat, The Whos, and Horton, the elephant.

The rigors of this program also teach young people more than just performance technique.

There are a variety of classes to cultivate beginners and serious musicians as well as more than 10 performance groups that focus on music ranging from classical to jazz.

This year, the War Eagle Marching Band took up the music of ELO, focusing on the “Time” album, about an astronaut who travels to the future and discovers a massive change in technology. The theme must have given the 62-member group extraterrestrial powers, allowing them to rack up 35 trophies during the three fall competitions. Preparation for the marching band began last June at Band Camp in Barnesville, GA, with the musicians and color guard practicing throughout the summer.

The Jazz Band, led by Scott Sparrowhawk, plays concerts and events, mainly during winter and spring. This year, 23 students participated in various jazz ensembles.

The Instrumental Arts program at Marist offers something for everyone, which keeps the faculty in full-gear all year long.

No.14

A number of Marist students play in the pit orchestras for the fall and spring musicals, giving them the thrill of performing shoulder-to-shoulder with seasoned professionals. Preparation for these shows begins three weeks prior to opening. AP Music Theory students are currently working with Mr. Craddock to arrange the score for Seussical, Jr., the Middle School musical, coming up May 5-7.

The department also prepares music for events such as the Family Mass, the Heritage Circle Mass and six seasonal concerts.

Fifteen students, including two Middle Schoolers, auditioned for District and All-State Bands this year. Those selected included Noah Barulic (8th grade), Grace Ahearn (9th), Marissa ValeCruz (9th), Susan Lee (11th), Daniel Perry (12th) and Dennis Frank (9th). The UGA Honour Band, which assembles the best musicians from a six-state area, included Daniel Perry, Susan Lee, Rebecca Hagler (11th), Victoria Fahimmanesh (11th) and Erin McDevitt (11th). Festival conductors working with these students included the Professor of Conducting from the Eastman School of Music, Artistic Director of the Greater New York Wind Symphony, and a former conductor for the United States Air Force Band.

Marist musicians will continue to hit the road in April for a trip to the Heritage Music Festival in Orlando where they will compete with ensembles from other schools.

“We are grateful for the support of our parents and MAG in general,” says Mr. Craddock, who gives a special shout-out to Danny Zink, who constructed front-pit equipment racks that enable students to move their gear onto the football field by themselves. MAG also purchased a new xylophone, which the band has appreciated having in the mix this year.

This year, it continued to expand and explore new horizons under the leadership of Department Chair Dr. Michael Bieze, Ceramics and Photography Instructor Bill Buckner, and Patrick DeAngelis, who teaches illustration, painting and digital design.

From a curricular point of view, AP Studio Art grew from three students to 12 this year, providing a true incubator for students interested in pursuing graphic design, painting and illustration at the collegiate level. This class will travel to New York in April to get a much-needed shot of art and culture by visiting the MET, the MOMA, the Bowery Museum, Chelsea galleries and the New York Academy of Art. Mr. DeAngelis hopes the trip will inspire and propel them through the final month of the AP portfolio.

Demand also led to the addition of two more Forms and Design classes, which focus on exposing students to a variety of materials, processes and styles of artwork.

“The objective is for students to develop their own unique visual language so they feel confident expressing ideas in a visual form,” says Mr. DeAngelis.

The faculty focused on competitive exhibitions that allowed Marist students to share their work beyond the Ashford Dunwoody Road campus. Five students (Hannah Costabile, Erin McDevitt, Susan Lee, Koble

Delmer and Alex Woehrle) entered the Pace Academy, Pace Arts Alliance and Pace Painting Competition. Erin McDevitt won the “Best of Show Award” and Alex Woehrle received an honorable mention.

Work created by five Marist students was submitted for jury into the National K-12 Ceramics Exhibition held in conjunction with the National Council for the Education of Ceramic Arts (NCECA) Conference. A pair of thrown-bowls created by Senior Jen Heider was accepted for exhibition at the conference, which attracts more than 5,000 visitors from around the country. (See photo at left.)

The AP Art History course is a perennial favorite, open to the first 75 juniors or seniors who apply each year. Dr. Bieze took a group of these students to Paris and London over spring break, where they had the opportunity to view works they have been studying all year.

And, speaking of arts tours, the department has a new feather in its cap now that it has joined an elite consortium for summer study in Spoleto, Italy. Marist is one of only two Georgia schools that participate in Spoleto Study Abroad, an immersion program for the arts and humanities open to students 15 years old and up. Several Marist students will attend the 3-week school this summer. They will live at the Residence di Sant’Angelo, a renovated 15th Century convent in the medieval section of Spoleto, and will learn from distinguished artists and educators drawn from Italy and the U.S.

The goal of the Visual Arts Department is to foster arts appreciation, critical thinking skills and to provide a place where interested students can explore their talent.

“Stage mother” is theatre parlance for the mother of a child actor, but it’s also an apt description of Annie Peterle, a professional puppeteer whose career has landed her on stage for Sesame Street, Georgia Public Broadcasting and international festivals as far away as Poland. The UNIMA Award winner and Emmy nominee is the mother of Marist theatre veterans Meg ’07 and Ella ’12 Brooks, and is Ms. Stadler’s go-to-gal when shows call for complicated costumes.

The rotund Dobchinsky brothers in The Government Inspector and the frog heads, hands and feet last season are just a few of the costumes made possible through Annie’s creative vision. Annie’s sewing talent emerged at the College of Wooster where she earned her undergraduate degree in Children’s Theatre.

“My friend in the costume shop handed me a bolt of fabric and a suit jacket pattern and told me to ask questions as I needed,” she said. It took all semester, but she made the jacket and made up her mind to pursue puppetry arts for a career. Annie earned her masters degree at Bowling Green State University while touring with a national educational puppet program called “Kids on the Block.”

When she moved to Atlanta she joined The Center for Puppetry Arts as a resident puppeteer. Working there led to performances on television, video and film, including a movie with the infamous Muppets. It also led to her husband Jim, who was playing guitar for an Xperimental Puppet Theatre piece at the Center one fateful evening.

She toured with Janie Geiser’s Obie Award-winning Jottay Theatre. Other credits include Sesame Street’s 25th Anniversary Special, the movie Elmo in Grouchland, and her debut as “Hat Check Girl” on episode #4181 of the landmark show. Today she makes live appearances to promote the Organwise Guys, an educational series sponsored by Wellness, Inc.

Ms. Peterle says that bringing puppets to life is similar to acting, but puppeteers must sublimate their own presence and redirect it through the puppet. Depending on the show, puppeteers can work from a soundtrack or might voice their characters, in which case microphones are attached to a headband across their foreheads so that sound stays at a consistent level no matter where the puppeteer is in relation to the puppet.

She advises aspiring puppeteers to take a look at puppetry majors at The University of Connecticut, The University of Hawaii, Bowling Green State University and the California Institute of the Arts. It helps to have strong shoulders and biceps and a healthy dose of imagination.

Making actors realistic doesn’t stop with costumes and makeup. Hair can make or break the illusion. That’s where Parent Denise “Clancey” Callaway and her staff come in.

As Regional Color Director for Sassoon Salon and Academy, Mrs. Callaway has

supported Marist theatre since 2005 when her daughter,

Riley ’09 was a freshman.The directors meet with her

early in the season to discuss what they want to achieve with various characters.

Mrs. Callaway then consults with Atlanta Sassoon Creative

Director Lisa Stephenson to

develop a strategy. Shows call for everything from hair pieces to cutting, styling and color. During performance week, the leads come to the salon for styling immediately after school, and volunteer members of Sassoon’s staff follow them back to campus where they provide professional assistance to the ensemble.

“My first experience at Marist was one of the most challenging,” remembers Mrs. Callaway. Her team transformed Emily Nowell from dark brunette to ash blonde to play Eva Perón in Evita. “Emily spent several hours at the salon to achieve the right color and we did many touch-ups to keep the blonde going through to the Regional One Act play competition,” she said. After the play closed, the team reversed Emily back to her natural brown locks.

This season’s The Government Inspector called for goofy hairstyles that her team achieved with hairpieces and temporary color that the guys used each night to “age” their look. Once colored, the staff sculpted the hair into comical shapes in keeping with the comical themes in the storyline. Period pieces often call for the boys to have facial hair, which is applied with a lot of spirit gum.

Hair styling is an art form that requires many of the same talents used by visual designers: a good eye for color, vision for sculpting and technical training. “Our medium happens to be hair, which is alive and living on people,” says Mrs. Callaway. “So we study a client’s bone structure, eye color and complexion when making choices. We study color theory and work with geometry when designing the look.” She notes that hair, like visual art, can make a person feel happy or sad, so stylists work carefully to find the look that suits the individual’s personality and lifestyle.

Mrs. Callaway began her career in 1979 at the Sassoon Academy in Los Angeles. She specializes in chemicals, which involves coloring, perming and relaxing hair. She was named one of the top colorists in North America in 1991. Today, she creates teaching programs and helps with product development while tending to her clientele. Her love of color stems from her years in London visiting the Tate Gallery, where she was influenced by viewing the works of Turner and Constable and their use of light and color. Her son, Hayes ’12, appeared as The Government Inspector in the Fall 2010 production.

Experiential learning is a term you hear a lot these days, but it’s been a practice in the Marist Fine Arts Department for a quarter of a century. That’s how long Dr. Michael Bieze has been teaching AP Art History and hosting student tours to noteworthy art centers around the world, including China, Ghana, India, Japan, Russia and many destinations in Europe.

AP Art History TripsExpanding Student Horizons for 25 Years

No.24

“I started with six students in a tiny room in what is now the lower cafeteria,” reflects Dr. Bieze. More recently his class has attracted 80 students per year, taught in four sections. He arranges the subject matter of the class around the trip planned each year, emphasizing works of art that he knows the students will see. This year, 11 students visited Paris and London over spring break.

Aside from the obvious cultural enrichment, Dr. Bieze believes that travel is an essential part of education. “Knowledge is gained through both study and experience,” he says. “When you travel you learn that serendipity is essential for growth, that people around the world are inherently good and that you can’t know yourself until you’ve achieved a certain distance from your comfort zone.”

AP Art History alums have a fraternity-like bond. Many choose careers that allow them to mine the knowledge first gleaned on

their Marist art pilgrimages.Sarah Morgan Berryman ’00 majored in Advertising at the University of South Carolina and

later became a project manager for Asset Archives where she inspected, catalogued and assisted in valuing and appraising fine arts and antiques. This work allowed her to travel to dozens of cities and exposed her to some of the rarest and most interesting private art collections in the world. She recalls inspecting works owned by a Hollywood director, including paintings by Picasso, Chagall and many Norman Rockwell originals.

Sarah says she was able to quickly excel at Asset Archives because of her interest in the arts that was kindled through her parents and the Marist AP Art History class. “The entire Marist Fine Arts Department helps students to be well-rounded. The classes I took have influenced me on how necessary fine arts are to our society and culture,” she says.

As a child, Sarah lived briefly in Hong Kong, so she was thrilled to take the AP Art History trip to China in 1999 where she could revisit iconic sites she had seen earlier in her life. Her sister, Rachel Morgan Walsh ’95 had a different experience, visiting Russia on her Marist trip.

“We visited the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, one of the largest museums in the world and one of the oldest art galleries and museums of human history and culture in the world. To see so many of the pieces we studied in our Jansen Art History book was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The trip gave me a taste for adventure and travel and the confidence and passion to continue my Art History study in college,” Rachel remembers.

She graduated in 1999 from Boston’s Simmons College with a double major in Art History and English. Today she is Vice President of Operations and Research for User Insight, the largest qualitative research firm in the Southeast, a position that enables her to travel internationally to gain insights into products and topics important to her clients.

“When you study art, you learn so much about a particular culture and the history that influenced the artwork. My education gave me a greater understanding and respect for other cultures, which I definitely use in my career today,” she says.

Robert Cooper ’06 took an AP Art History trip to Japan, which not only influenced his college major, but now has led to his first job, in Tokyo. He graduated, cum laude, from Kalamazoo College last June with a degree in East Asian Studies. A highlight of his college experience was a year of study at Kyoto’s Doshisha University, where he was certified at the second-highest level of Japanese Language Proficiency.

He works in international marketing for Impossible Dream Inc. (Kabushiki-gaisha Mihatenu Yume), a communications technology company. One of the products he supports is a service that sends a daily text message to cell phones with an English vocabulary word, an audio sample and usage examples designed to help Japanese customers who are studying for the TOEFL and TOEIC language tests.

A Father Brennan Award winner, Robert says he spent most of his time at Marist in the Fine Arts Hall, participating in theatre, chorus, band and a variety of arts courses.

“I attribute my love of photography to taking the photography class there, and will continue this interest by helping Nicole Kenney ’98 expand her Brooklyn-based photography exhibit to Japan,” he says. The exhibit, “Before I Die, I Want To,” explores the human psyche in dealing with death and loss through ink marker on Polaroid film. Subjects are photographed and write their life goal on the picture in their native tongue.

Robert is excited about this volunteer work because it combines both the Photography and “Death and Dying” religion classes that he took at Marist.

Each year the MAGazine is produced prior to the spring musicals

so it can be enjoyed by audiences at all of the spring productions and

concerts from March through May. This timing often precludes our

ability to showcase some of our most memorable moments on stage.

Thanks to the generosity of our advertisers this year, we are pleased
