I just wanted to share a photo with you that we took last Friday. It was one of the final rehearsals for our Double Tragedy, but it was also our own Artistic Director, Michael Kelly’s birthday! There were some surprise treats for Michael, in the form of cupcakes and cake!

Happy Birthday, Michael!

Good morning everyone!

I checked the intern e-mail this morning, and we have received an update from our Creative Director, Michael Kelly! He is currently in Bali, attending a workshop about masks. He has sent us a picture that documents part of a Balinese high priest cremation ceremony.

Take a look and let us know what you think. Have a great day!

It seems only appropriate that our first introduction should be to the man who came up with this whole thing! So, without further ado, this is Mr. Michael Kelly:

Michael Kelly, Fearless Leader, about to tell me not to take his picture
