In Memory - George Savella

As many of you may already know via facebook, Francesca's father passed away over the weekend. Francesca has been active with Kaleidoscope for a number of years and recently played Mother Hubbard in "Mother Goose" and Disgustia in "Cinderella." In order to raise the wonderful Francesca, we know he must have been an amazing man. Our thoughts are with her at this time and Kscope will be showing support by attending the wake tomorrow around 5pm.
