Our lives became much busier in the summer of 1996 when Isaac formed a Musical Threatre Troupe; he's the music director and pianist.
Jeff is actor, sometimes choreographer (for, can you believe it, 5 nuns?), and occasional director. He started out doing lights, but late in 1998 was roped into singing and dancing. In April 1999, it was "Dames at Sea", in which--for the first time--Jeff had a principal role. (For a complete accounting, please see his performance resume.)
