Beatrix delivering the closing monologue in the Saint Paul Academy and Summit School fall production, The Dining Room. Her last fall play at SPA. So very proud of how much she’s grown as an artist.
Less either/or. More also/and.
A really great history of the classic 60/40 jacket. I have a vintage Penfield one that I love.
Beatrix’s school has an art gallery and today was the opening of the fall show for student work. Beatrix’s photography project was one of the works featured. Very proud of her!

My wife writes about Beatrix in her final high school play
The show is absolutely magical. Everyone was great, but especially to see these seniors, who I know so well, build these incredibly complex characters from vignettes, was mind-blowing.

The final performance is tonight at 7pm. Tickets are free. Come see it.
