Announcement: New Friends Center Relationship!

I'm pleased to inform you that we have started a new rehearsal arrangement this upcoming year with the Quakers Friends Center on 15th and Cherry!  For the 2012-2013 season, almost 90% of our rehearsals will be held at this location in a variety of rooms (including the one seen above).  Not only is this building in a great central location, but there is an easily accessible (and cheap!) parking garage across the street as well as public transportation access.  I also hope that this stability will make it easier on everyone's schedules. 

Feel free to check out their website: http://www.friendscentercorp.org/

And a special thanks to Teddy Ashmead, Executive Director, for creating this new relationship with the Friends Center!
