On behalf of the Parkinson's Community,  I am extending our thanks to NextStage Productions and all who put in their time to create such a wonderful event. As Risa Lower said, The music was great, the performers perfect, the venue wonderful, the food delicious and the committee's coordination flawless!   We so appreciate the collaboration with and support of NSP that enhances the quality of life for people living with Parkinson's.


Will definitely look forward to next year.  Hopefully we can get some drummers up on the stage for a demo~
