SAUSAGE-MAKING
Even happier openings on the horizon

the group toasts to a wonderful opening of Silent Sky
Did you attend opening night of Silent Sky? If so, you might have also unknowingly been a Phipps guinea pig.
We tested the waters with the idea of post-show opening night receptions, and it was fun fun FUN! Following the performance, attendees got to sip a little drink, eat a little cake, mingle with artists, and just have an all âround good time.
Look for opening night receptions for all three adult theatre events beginning next season (which will be announced later this spring)!

âWhy your gift is neededâ in 2 photos

cue the sad trombone
Close your eyes and imagine the saddest âWAH-WAAAAHâ trombone. Thatâs what I heard in my head when I looked up earlier this week to see a brand-spankinâ new water stain on the ceiling of our beautiful main entry.
And then I looked down and sawâŠ

dripâŠdripâŠdripâŠ
âŠa bucket slowly but surely filling up with water LEAKING THROUGH FROM THE ROOF.
We are, indeed, so fortunate to enjoy the beautiful facility we have BUT GOSH DARN if the upkeep isnât expensive!
New exhibition opening TOMORROW!
I CANNOT WAIT!
Why not come to the 6:30pm reception?

PERSONAL STUFF
Buzzy hates spring

can he get any cuter? the answer, of course, is NO.
Busby is a winter dog, so each spring he clings to the last bits of snow like his little fuzzy life depends on it.
It would be totally disgusting if it werenât so cute.
Crossword will be back next week!
