The Patricia Henley Foundation Presents TLC, (Theatre of Life for Children). "A Tribute to the Musical" starred 48 children ages 8 -15. It was a fantastic production at the Marjorie Luke Theatre in Santa Barbara, CA. We played to packed houses and standing ovations! I am so proud to be a part of this team. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to be a consultant.
