2015 Freddy Awards
As an official photographer for the 2015 Freddy Awards, I get asked a lot what are the Freddy Awards. The best way I can describe it is it’s the Tony Awards for High School theatre.
Thousands of photos are created each year when all the schools get together to rehearse and celebrate theatre together.
Below is a video slide show of some of my favorite images from 2015 Freddy Awards:
“Me and My Girl”
ShowKids Invitational Theatre (SKIT’s) next show will be Me and My Girl. I had the privilege to create some publicity photos for the show. A video slide show of the photos is located here:

A gallery featuring photographs from the 2015 Freddy Awards will be opening at the State Theatre for the Arts in Easton, PA on Friday April 8, 2016.

Circus Train Passes Through Town
The “Blue” Circus train passed through town today and you probably didn’t notice. That’s because most of us don’t pay too much attention to trains as they go by. The circus train typically only goes by once a year. This year it’s the “blue” train going west bound on their way to Norfolk, VA.
I’m not an expert on this but I believe this is the last time the circus elephants are on the train and in the circus. They are going to be offloaded and “retired” during this scheduled break
