Sarah hands the check to Jeff Crockett, while Lane pumps his fist in triumph.

Thanks to all the amazing patrons and friends who raised the paddle during our fundraiser last week, we are the proud owners of this lovely 2005 champagne-colored 15 passenger Chevy van. It's even got tinted windows and A/C! We'll be rolling to the airport in style now.

I was guest curator for the last show of the season ending in 2008. John Wilson was my co-curator. Not having been a curator before I was apprehensive about doing it, but very thrilled as well since I have been a subscriber to OtB for years and have been going to 12 Minutes Max for years as well. I was so thrilled that I skipped plans to go to San Francisco’s Symphonies Black & White Ball, something I haven’t missed since 1981. John Wilson, my co-curator, is a very experienced teacher at Cornish who specializes in dramaturgy.
