Thanks again to Alyssa Reit of Singing Harp and to all our fabulous actors!

Well, the summer has been flying by so quickly that we’ve barely had time to put our photos in order.  But here, as promised, are pictures from our production of  The Brementown Musicians (or, The Peekskill Musicians, as we renamed it) which starred some enthusiastic acting students.  Alyssa Reit did an outstanding job directing our young thespians (look it up!) and giving them a taste of the stage.  BRAVO TO ALL!
