I hope you have enjoyed these monthly updates and that they have helped you in some way, whether it gave you a chance to audition for a new role or it helped get folks into the seats of your theaters. It has been apleasure to get to know all of you, collaborate with you, and to watch you perform not only as an RAA Board Member, but as a fellow actor and friend. Art truly makes life wonderful, and each and every one of you have brought so much joy to my life. Unfortunately, my time on the Board and Theatre Arts Interest Group is coming to an end. The next chapter in my life begins out West, and will make me unable to continue on in an official capacity. No matter where I go, Rutherford County and Theatre will always be my home. From the bottom of my heart, to the RAA Board and everyone in the theatre community, thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve you.
Though I am leaving, the show must go on! The blog will continue, and will be written by our new Interest Group Leader Poem Bokoles.
Thank you so much for your time and attention. This is Taylor Gentry signing off, one last time. Take it away, Poem!
