Last night was the opening of the three-night run of "Saints and Sinners", an evening of mini-musicals presented at Theatre Building Chicago.

Presented were all seven of the mini-musicals written by the members of my class, as I've discussed in this previous post.

Of course in the program, the title of my group's mini-musical was shortened to The Day Sister Sister Found Out... It closed the first act to roaring applause and a standing ovation (or was everyone just getting up to stretch their legs?)

The Loyola University students (Danielle Diaz, Angie Johnson, Sarah Pretz, Michael Sherman, Mike Wolfe, Sam Buti, Thrisa Hodits, Eric Labanauskas, Anna Nuzzo, Kelly Spohrer), the musical directors (Jeff Bouthiette, Jeremy Famey), and two directors (Allan Chambers, Alex Levy) did a fabulous job with all the material.

It was really rewarding to see our stuff up there performed and not left lingering in a desk drawer. And I must admit, it was pretty cool to see my name printed in a program!

It was so good I'm going back tonight to see it again!

Congratulations! And thanks to everyone who came to see it!
