Something About Mary

My pal Mary Smirl (that's her in the photo taken by Lori Wolfe) has been involved in local dance and theatre for quite a few years now. She's directed a number of shows, including Schoolhouse Rock Live and A Christmas Carol, and she's been the choreographer on even more, including the recent Cats, Seussical the Musical, and Peter Pan, just to name a few.

We've both been on the board at First Stage Theatre Company longer than we'd care to admit, and she's always been a tireless advocate of making dance and theatre available to kids in the area. There's a great story in today's paper spotlighting Mary and her new dance studio - you can read it right here.

And since she reads this blog, let me just say - Hi, Mary! Congratulations on the new studio!
