When life throws you a lemon, make lemonade.  This is another great opportunity to teach our performers resilience.  One of the lessons of 2020 is to always have a plan B and wiser yet, a plan C.  Life does not always go as planned, but we can make the most of it.  We hope you’ll join us in this effort this Holiday Season.
