A range of images from rehearsals for the Mid-Life Recital, the 2022 production from Pageant and Sing-Along Nation. Rehearsals began at the Arts Center of St. Peter, moved to Patrick’s on Third, and the event culminated in a show at the Minnesota Square Pavilion. A wide range of performers shared the songs that meant a lot to them [or that they always wanted to sing!]

Some photos of Good Night Gold Dust performing at the Turf Club in St. Paul, MN. Concert photography is tricky, given the low light and constant movement of the performers, but this was a fun experience to build my skills and try to capture some of the moments of a live performance.
