Cassie
"My favorite memory at Forum was in May 2012 after RDA classes and long rehearsals. We were standing on a dimmed stage listening to a quiet lull of music. Once the piece had ended, the tears shed, the music stopped, and we stood breathless in the darkess. In an unexplainable array of emotions, our company stood as one. As a familiar “bravo” rose from the crowd, we were as speechless as our audience." - Cassie
