Let's Learn about Sex, Bay-bee!

[emily martha gallagher]

Hello all.

my name is Emily.  Thus far I've been a silent reader of emails, quietly
cheering you on and vowing to go to the next meeting - however now it's
time to speak up.  I'm not sure how many of you are involved in the
theatre, but I am quite heavily...so if you're wanting to get us mad
actors involved I'm the woman to speak to (unless you have someone else on
board already).
let me know how I can help

take care
-Emily Gallagher
ps. yes, I love Ani D. too.
