Photo of the Day: a blast from the past!
Today we received a visit from an old friend: Rachel Anderson, who served as Production Manager (among several hats worn at Milagro) back in 2003-4. A graduate of Reed College, she began as an intern before going on to collaborate on at least 4 productions. As she was reminiscing with José and Dañel we got to learn she is now a professor at Franklin & Marshall College, teaching directing. Thanks for dropping by, Rachel, it was great to see you!
