Ghost Light
Lately, I’ve found myself talking a lot about Ghost Light, a collaborative play that evolved from work between student writers, actors and musicians. It ran near to the end of Fall Term 2010.

More about the Townhouse.
Janielle has been writing a great deal about life in and around the Welling Townhouse over the summer. I thought I’d take a second and write a little more about the Welling Townhouse as the cooperative community it houses during the normal school year.
