Goodbye, Natasha!

Today we say goodbye to our school-year Education intern, Natasha Ransom. We've enjoyed her relentlessly positive energy and are sad to see her go.

Yesterday, she brought in this picture to share.


This is, of course, the patio outside SCT, and the cute little girl on the left is Natasha. The photo was taken in 1994, and that is what makes the picture so special. Natasha's relationship with SCT is going on 15 years. And while that is in fact special, it is by no means unique.

We hear stories like this all the time. Don Darryl Rivera, who played the lead in I Was a Rat!, shared a story recently about his first memory of an SCT play from the 1993-94 season, which featured actors with whom he now shares the stage.

People develop long-lasting relationships with this theatre, whether they be audience or artists, volunteers or staff. And we couldn't be more proud of that fact.
