Milton & The New York Times PearlDamour was in the New York Times recently! Click here to read the The Sunday Times article that talks about MILTON and Lisa's upcoming play on Broadway called AIRLINE HIGHWAY. Melena Ryzick from the New York Times travelled to Milton, NC last August with a photographer to follow our work on the show. Be sure to watch the slideshow to see pictures of our friends in Milton, NC and Lisa in her fantastic Mardi Gras costume. We were thrilled that New Yorkers-- and New York Times readers around the country-- could get a little taste of Milton!
Road trips and phone calls Maintaining our long-distance relationships by Ashley Sparks
We are in a long-term long-distance relationship with each of the Miltons. That means sometimes we spend a lot of time on the phone and making road trips. Here's a peek into our recent conersations: Katie visited our friends in Milton, MA. She attended the monthly meeting for Citizens for a Diverse Milton. The group’s focus is on diversity within the local public schools, working with district administration on continuing to diversify faculty and staff to more accurately mirror the racial/ethnic breakdown of the student population. Lisa stopped by to say “Hello!” to our friends in Milton, NC. While she was in town spent some time at the Tap and Dye and got together with folks to hear about the upcoming plans for the Second Annual Street Fair and Thomas Day Performance Festival. In preparation to "hop on back" to Milton-Freewater, OR in April, Ashley has been making calls to our friends there. Oregon is the next site for our full production - tentatively scheduled for Spring 2016. I’d estimate that as a team, we’ve probably travelled over 10,000 miles working on Milton and it’s the relationships we're building with all of you in each Milton that make this such an amazing experience for us.
