Finally, after months of planning, preparation, and payouts, Michelle Tuesday Music School in Gahanna, Ohio is a retail reality. With our signage, walls, and doors in place, we are just about ready to open our doors to the public at 1173 N. Hamilton Road, in Vista Plaza, next door to Martinizing Dry Cleaning and Great Clips.

I have reached out to a producer whose contact information I found on the website, so I hope to find the group alive and well and just lacking in recent web updating. If Gahanna Community Theatre is still active, I plan to learn more about the group and offer whatever support I can. Continue reading “Community Theatre Love”
