Theatre
is life; film is art, television is furniture!
Thousand Hands Buddha from YouTube. Put this here just because I think it's too cool to lose.
MISSION STATEMENT
I will strive to prepare all my students to meet life's challenges and
to function independently in the multi-cultural twenty-first century in which they must survive. Hopefully, they will be able
to do more than just survive - it is my hope that they succeed. I will try to develop in all my students ethical and moral
standards, and to instill within them a sense of pride in themselves, their school, and their community. It is my goal that
all of my students will progress to become lifelong learners and to grow far beyond what I can teach them. My ambition is
to prepare them to cope with a world that is not always kind or fair, and to give them the thinking and life-skills that will
support successful futures.

Here is something for all my ladies that Moriah Hicks, a former student,
sent to me on her 21st birthday. It was a gift from an older friend.

the cast. All sets are designed by Delaine Gates and built by students.
