"A Friday Habit"

This Saturday was a meeting of worlds in multiple ways! I included my oldest middle school theatre students in a short play, "A Friday Habit," that I wrote and performed in (I play a nun giving the school announcements during a storm so she's asked to 'go long'). I got to include my kids in my own art, I got to perform for them, and in the audience sat a former student who was in the founding class at ChiArts (the Chicago HS for the Arts) which I helped start in 2009. What a night! This was really special for me.
