A CHORUS LINE AT WILBRAHAM MONSON ACADEMY

On one of the most beautiful days of winter (yes, it's still winter!), Karoun began her birthday celebration with her dearest Wilbraham friends, former employer Farmer Llewellyn Merrick of Merrick Farm and Theresa Munn.  The three met at Wilbraham Monson Academy's Fisk Hall (built in 1851) where A CHORUS LINE was about to be performed by the Theatre Guild of Hampden (Massachusetts), directed by Mark Giza, choreographed by Kathleen Delaney with music direction by Tom Slowic.

 Although it wasn't Broadway, it sure felt like it!

 The moments were indeed magical:  perhaps because the birthday party had front row seats, they felt like A CHORUS LINE was performed only for them (although there were 150 other folks watching the show along with them!)

A cast of perhaps 50 (above) pose for applause at the end of the show.
