What are you up to?

Hello, and happy summer!

I'm working on the City College blog, and I'd love to brag about all of you. Are you working? Doing a show? Dancing? Performing? Taking classes? Interning?

Let me know! And if you have pictures of yourself in costume or at work, and you're OK with me putting on the blog/Facebook, please share that as well.

Sad News

For those of you who knew and studied with June Richards, we've just learned that her husband Dick passed away on July 5 after fighting a long and difficult illness.

Our thoughts are with June at this difficult time.
