Know the feeling. Our daughter went to Tisch. It’s a hard dream, acting. But it’s a dream we all need. So happy for Thalia. And her mom!!!

To observe a truly gifted artist is worth a gazillion tears. And to watch her perform in such a powerful play is truly a gift.

Thank you for this. Cabaret is a powerful show and your daughter must have been an amazing emcee. But most important is the message that art is necessary. And art from young people is important for all of us - for learning, for change, for hope.

That’s a beautiful piece Liz. A powerful piece proclaiming theater education in the schools! And as a mom, applauding the work of your daughter and her power to take on a whale of a part, make it her own and create a living breathing human- magic!!! That’s what made me direct a play or two almost every year of my 30 years of high school teaching. Bravo ❤️🎭❤️
