Artist Residency Highlight: My Funny Valentine

During one of our unique artist residency programs, residents at the senior community shared with us stories in their lives relating to special songs. This beautiful woman shared how her husband (now deceased) of 50 years, used to come home every Valentine’s Day with a gift and sing this song.

Her fellow resident, a gentleman often saying & doing little, participates, playing her husband in this skit while our artist, Caleigh, sings My Funny Valentine. We found out after the show (that was performed for the family & friends) that this gentleman used to do community theatre when he was younger. 

Clearly, this week was filled with smiles, laughter and memories, touching the hearts of our artists, our residents, and everyone lucky enough to witness moments like this!
