Dear Friends and Patrons of MAC Ballet,

I'd like to take this moment to express my love and thanks to Ms. TaMara Swank, Co-Ordinator of Seton Hill University, School of Visual and Performing Arts, Department of Theatre and Dance, and the whole Department of Theatre and Dance community for 11 wonderful years of love. It wasn't work, it wasn't a job, it was 11 years of pure love. While I am ending this section of my life, I will always have and cherish the memories of my time there. As Lin-Manuel Miranda said, "Love is love, is love, is love".
