SUBJECT: Theatre Guild eNews, Sept 21, 2021 -BE THE GOOD; Hispanic Heritage, Peter and the Starcatcher Ad Extension
September 21, 2021
Thank you Chris Bolding for being our Guest Speaker at the Theatre Guild's El Fenix Dinner!
“We are going to need more creative problem solvers in this world. Einstein said, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” But kids who think outside the box give me hope. Arts kids approach the world differently, and in a world that seems stuck on some really big problems lately, I think the diversity of thinking among our young arts kids could be the key to a brighter future. “
-Chris Bolding, Booker T Alum Parent, and Arts Supporter
