Nathaniel Dett Chorale
Fabulous concert, wonderful music
Despite the weather was, a number of us who took advantage of this month’s ACT Out and were treated to the Nathaniel Dett Chorale in Summerside. This was a return trip for the chorale. They last played Summerside four years ago. Since then they have toured extensively and their reputation has grown significantly. No wonder. They were a treat and then some.

Director of Theatre Report
Director of Theatre Report in anticipation of upcoming meeting.
Hello All-
Before our meeting on Sunday, I wanted to fill everyone in on a few things that I wanted to talk about at our last two snowed-out meetings!
First of all, I am moving back to the States in August hopefuly to go to grad school. So, I will not be around for my second year as Director of Theatre. However, it is important to me that we have the 2004-2005 season completely figured out with production dates and theatres booked before I leave.
