TROJANFEST

spoken word piece, she played a video with pictures taken of her during her fight against cancer.

While these played, Nelson and other dancers performed a dance that could only be described as triumphant. Nelson’s piece was emotional and moving.

The last performer of Program B was Valerisse. She performed two songs. The first song was called “Everything,” which she wrote the lyrics to. The next was “Make It Real,” which was dedicated to her uncle who wrote the lyrics. She hit notes that brought down the house.

This show would not have been possible without the faculty and students running the show from behind the scenes.

I was very honored to get to be a part of this production and get to know the casts of each piece and the crew of the production. The end of Fringe was bittersweet, as it was the graduating seniors’ last show.
