TOSCA’S TUNE.
by Judith Jerome
ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
You may know her better in an apron, sweat dripping off her brow, scoop- ing guacamole, or rolling burritos. Michele Levesque and husband Michael Rossney are the owners of Sedgwick’s wonderful Mexican café, El El Frijoles. You might also know her as a member of the Sedgwick school board, and one of the movers behind that school’s beautiful new greenhouse. And as P/T Edu- cation Director, she is also the newest member of the Opera House team. Michele was once a teacher at the Julia Morgan School for Girls in Oakland, CA—and she knows how to think about, and do, arts education. She is the author of our student Cue Sheets, similar in form and content to what you see on page 1 of this newsletter; and she is currently working on one to accompany the next iteration of Burt Dow, Deep Water Man. She is now work- ing on the important job of evaluation and follow up for our educational programs, and will also act as a mentor and coach for teachers working to incorporate arts integrated teaching strategies into their classrooms. Welcome her, wherever you see her, to the OHA team!
