NorthEast Thespian Festival -- Making Magic in Maine!

Was a pleasure this weekend to join the chapters of the NorthEast region for their festival held just outside Portland, ME.    Having more than 300 thespians assemble in the gym at the University of Southern Maine to kickoff a great weekend was energizing!  Keith Anctil, Kit Rodgers and the entire leadership from the states in the NorthEast assembled a great program and great set of workshops.



The little bit of snow only intrigued only those of us from the far west!



Friday afternoon, Michael Mahany, Sara Andreas, Jason Yarcho and Gai Jones and I joined some talented students (both on and backstage) and great support from Eileen Avery from Gorham HS and Taylor Rodgers and Rick Osann at Gorham High School for rehearsal to put together our 19th benefit performance.



Just 4 hours later, we had show ... and another terrific success!



Thanks again to everyone!!
