If you have read the majority of my blog posts, or have ever heard me talk about the school in person, you have heard me talk about Dr. Thomas Albert. He is the God figure of the school. He knows everything. He has an explanation for everything. He is as wise as an owl mainly because of his age. However, he acts as young and full of life as the rest of us.
Unfortunately, after two years he has announced his retirement. Even though I am devastated and will go into a serious time of grief and mourning after he leaves, he deserves this retirement. The end of this year will mark 42 years for him. Luckily, he will still be involved with SSMT as Artistic Director and Musical Director for at least one of its shows.
To acknowledge Dr. Albert, we are doing some of his favorite musicals including She Loves Me. Also, next summer we are doing another one of his favorites that I can't reveal yet. To work on musicals with a musical director that has such a passion for those shows in particular is such a thrill. Here's to Dr. Albert.
