Closing performance of Showboat @ Houston Grand Opera

The LSU College of Music and Dramatic Arts held a pre-performance alumni reception prior to the final performance of Showboat at the Houston Grand Opera. What a wonderful surprise to see/hear my colleague and friend (from my years at Shenandoah Conservatory) Lara Teeter, playing the role of Cap'n Andy.
