News from the WISCONSIN UNION THEATER


 Greetings!

 

What are you grateful for this season?

 

I try to practice gratitude daily. It's made a better person out of me, this regular remembering of just how fortunate I am. This week, we had a reminder of how lucky we in the theater are to have the great students who work with us. The one designing this newsletter, Alexis Brown, was named a Rhodes Scholar, the first UW-Madison student since 2000 to be conferred this honor. We're very proud of her.

Several of our other bright students write in this newsletter, as they usually do. We're grateful for the opportunity to work with them and to perhaps make a small difference in their lives.

Have a good Thanksgiving!
