Oh, what a night this guy had! It’s a fun read. At PASA, we’ve never had to call for a volunteer to fill in,  but once we did have to hold the curtain because a musician in the orchestra for the New York City Opera National Company had to make a run to the ER at Lafayette General.

After a musician fell ill during a live performance of the score from “La La Land,” the composer Justin Hurwitz asked for a sight reader. A 21-year-old student stepped up.

The oldest working dance company in the US is celebrating their 100th Year! Martha Graham, one of modern dance’s greatest pioneers, spent her career bridging the ancient and the contemporary — exploring themes of desire, power, and American identity through her groundbreaking movement style rooted in contraction and release. Congratulations to the ! 👏👏👏

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms in our community! 🌸

Today, we celebrate the women who inspire us and keep the arts alive. We are especially grateful for our dedicated "PASA moms" who support us and who volunteer, including Maria Messina Doucet, Janet Wood, Jeanne Harrop Hudson, Lisa Mann Breaux, and Sandra Simon David You help our organization thrive!

A very special shoutout goes to the "mother" of PASA herself, Jackie Lyle. Jackie has been our heart and soul for 32 years; her vision and nurturing spirit shaped us into who we are today, and we simply wouldn’t be here without her.

To all the moms who make our world (and stage) a better place: we see you, and we appreciate you. Enjoy your special day!
