From Our Artistic Director

Welcome to the first Pendulum update of 2011.

Our theme for this year is shaping up to be "Let's Take This Show on the Road!" Opportunities for appearances in Philadelphia, New Mexico, Illinois and Washington are in the works. We look forward to keeping you updated as plans evolve.

Closer to home, we are delighted to have record enrollment in our classes and are starting rehearsals for our April events at our home in the French American International School.

Do you have a service, organization or business that you'd like to share with our community? Consider a donation to our April raffle or contact me to discuss sponsorship and cross marketing opportunities.

Read on for details about enrolling in upcoming classes, our April shows, and other upcoming appearances.
