Hi! For those of you who have been reading the blog, Jessica Skarda has been your faithful editor for these past few months. In fact, she's the one who created this blog to begin with to connect our audiences with the Alabama Shakespeare Festival in a way that goes beyond just attending the plays (which we highly encourage!) to a level where they feel that they belong to the ASF family (which you do!). It's with a bit of sadness and alot of excitement that we here at ASF bid adieu to Jessica as she starts her new world travels in Europe and China.

So that naturally leads us to an introduction.

I'm Abby Bryson, the new editor, and I'm here to continue bringing you information and behind the scenes coverage about all the activity that goes on here at ASF. If you've been watching the blog then you're already acquainted with some of what I do. I've been filming and editing all the podcasts that make their way onto the web.

Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to remind everyone that we've got a great event coming up! The first Young Professionals event on April 2nd will begin at The Brew Pub at 5:30 with dinner being $10-25 and then the show, Over the Tavern, will begin at 7:30 with tickets being a discounted $26.00. If you fall between the ages of 25-45, grab a friend and come out and see this great show with many of the other professionals from the area.

And let me say what a pleasure it is to meet all of you. The blog may go through a bit of a face lift soon so bookmark the page and keep checking back for your connection to the Alabama Shakespeare Festival. Leave a comment with a question or email me at abryson@asf.net for more information on the blog, podcasts, or shows we have coming up.
