      Bridget,
      It doesn't seem long ago when you were dreaming up your scripts in the basement of Keeney Quad with the rumble from the tumble cycle offering inspiration in the background... as we plucked notes on your keyboard :) And now... presenting, the amazing Bridget going out and making this dream happen. You are amazing.
      Wishing you the best,
      Kathy

      Just read your article in the Fairfield Weekly; congratulations on following your dream! Please let me know how it goes. I'm a music teacher (yes, a "cool" one) where you are filming, so please let me know if there is anything else you need (playing music, "extra", composing, etc.

      I'm rooting for you!
