What Happens in Green Room, Stays in Green Room

GDC’s ‘Dear Mr. Cooper’ last performance at VelocityDC Dance Festival at the Shakespeare Theatre – Sidney Harman Hall last night…  The wonderful Washington Performing Arts Society (WPAS) prepared water and food in the Green Room.  We all got to hang out and meet other artists there… and let’s just say ‘What happens in Green Room, stays in Green Room.’  😉

Fun Dancing Outside!

We had so much fun dancing outside at the 2013 Reston Multicultural Festival at Lake Anne Village Center this Saturday!  The weather was cool and beautiful.  Many people were there enjoying the good food, great music, beautiful costumes, and fantastic performances.  We performed the Excerpts of The Teller & The Core at 3:45 pm at the Global Stage.  It was so good to see some of GDC fans were there!!  A great day!!
