In addition to the Company, we had some wonderful guests: interns Emily and Naseem who gave a ‘green presentation’, grant writing volunteer Lisa, and Jane and Don, a couple living with aphasia who provided insight into their experiences with brian injury.

This week Mo`olelo is fortunate to have a visiting intern from the Center for Sustainable Practice in the Arts, Naseem. She is a senior at Kalamazoo College, combining her passions in biology and theater. She and our summer intern Emily are spending the week meeting with other San Diego professionals who are working on sustainability issues in their work (thank you Lisa, Deirdre and Joey!) and they will make a short ‘green presentation’ to the Night Sky company on the first day of rehearsal.

Here’s a photo from Naseem’s first day with us, a meeting of green minds: Emily, Shera, Naseem, Ian and Justine.
