Delivering the Commencement Speech for the Grinnell College Graduating Class of 2013 and receiving an Honorary Degree of Doctor of Humane Letters in Grinnell, IA!
Sarah was so excited and nervous about her address for Grinnell College’s Commencement. After a night of thunder and lightning storms, she expected the morning’s ceremony would be held indoors, but Iowa surprised everyone with a beautiful day. It was a wonderful experience to be a part of. So much gratitude to the graduates for choosing Sarah as their Speaker and only the best of luck in the future!

Performing and teaching at the Harvey School in Katonah, NY!
The Harvey School is full of fabulous folks. That is what Phil and Sarah learned today after spending time with students from the high school (and a few stowaways from the middle school!) in a workshop. Then Phil and Sarah got to spend time with the English Department Faculty, who were incredibly kind and welcoming. Lastly, Phil and Sarah performed a show for the Harvey Community. A day full of truly extra-lovely people. Much thanks to Alex Lindquist for all of her dedication and commitment to making this visit possible!

Performing at Perkiomen School in Pennsburg, PA!
Visiting Perkiomen School feels like visiting a college campus. The beautiful red brick buildings were buzzing with students zipping in between them. The performance by Phil and Sarah was well received, and the rain storm that arrived just as they finished was well received too. Thanks to everyone!

Both the lower school and the upper school of Moravian Academy have beautiful campuses. And even though Project VOICE had to make such quick visits, Phil and Sarah still definitely felt the love from Moravian students. Much thanks to the folks who facilitated Project VOICE’s crazy schedule and much thanks to the students who made it a treat to visit.

Performing and teaching at the Adult School of Montclair in Montclair, NJ!
What a jam-packed afternoon. First Project VOICE led a workshop for a mixture of high school students from all over the area. Then it was time for a workshop with adults. Both workshops were full of curious students at different levels of experience, but everybody participated full-heartedly which was a joy. Then came the performance! Project VOICE put on a great show thanks to the generosity and care of the ASM! Thank you everyone!
