NOTES FROM THE DIRECTOR

 

When I first met Valerie Russo, she was singing Slipper Shell Blues and telling me who would want to hear that. And she showed me her amazing photos. And the scientific research behind these fantastical poems. And I could see a story emerge. I am so grateful she has trusted us with her art. I know you will enjoy seeing Nantasket beach through her eyes. Enjoy the show. And thank you, Valerie!
