Steve at Work

Jul 21, 2019swankivy2019, Hangoutsfriends, steve s

I got to see the musical Shrek because my excellent friend Steve is the music director and let me come see it for free! It was a really good show, but honestly the highlight for me is to get to see this guy doing his thing. He’s really good.
