Out and About

This post is from the marvelous Peter Shanahan. A graduate of the UNCSA School of Music, Peter is a second-year Open Dream Ensemble cast member. His fluting, singing, dancing, and acting skills are well utilized in both Open Dream productions. His navigating skills are well utilized when on tour....

One of the very best things about being in the Open Dream Ensemble is that we travel to many very interesting and beautiful places. I think I found a slice of heaven in Savannah, Georgia this week! If you haven't gone there, I would highly recommend it. Spanish moss is hanging from the many old trees, and the parks and monuments that decorate the city are very special. Everyone seemed to be riding bikes, going on long walks, or having a picnic in the park. That was on a Wednesday during the day!

Another stop for us was Panama City, Florida. Our hotel was right on the bay and there was a mini-private beach for us to get our feet wet. Nobody seemed up for a swim after they noticed the large oil storage tanks next door. Although, I did see some fish swimming happily in the water.

With the many, many long days we have with Open Dream it is so wonderful to be spending time with great people in gorgeous surroundings. Where to next???
