I would never be in Sound of Music had it not been for EBA, where I met Jane (artistic director for Attic Theater) and Randy (board member for Attic) and was encouraged by Raelissa to audition. It is so wonderful having music back in my life after all these years. Thank You! Kathy Paauw | |

I'm doing my workshop at the Inn at Totem Lake tomorrow afternoon for SendOutCards people. We have folks coming from Olympia, Bellingham, Poulsbo, Oak Harbor -- all over.
