Did that really happen?

Could it be possible to have experienced such creativity and joy?

With the @valdeztheatreconf.bsky.social the answer is a resounding yes.

Thank you. Truly.

Let’s do it again sometime.

Taken just before midnight in Valdez, AK.

I never dreamed I’d see the light and blue skies when it’s supposed to be darkest.

Last week I got to live another dream when I completed my residency at @newharmonyproject.bsky.social with my family.

The last few weeks have been nothing short of special. I will cherish the memories I created and am creating always.
