She has been looking forward to this production of SHH!…(The Library Musical) for over a year, and is extremely grateful for the opportunity to return to the show, and even more proud to work with such an amazing team.

Katsy has enjoyed taking classes here at PCC so much that she is now learning the bassoon and more than halfway to earning her degree in music. She is thankful to the SHH QR code posted on flyers around campus and her smart phone for giving her the idea and guiding her to the audition room for SHH! She is thrilled to be a part of this production and wishes to thank the cast and crew of SHH!...(The Library Musical). Way more fun than pandemic sourdough bread baking!
