AND WHAT'S MORE . . . I really enjoyed participating in George M because it gave me a chance to work with others, and it brought me closer to the members of the cast. It was worthwhile to have had the opportunity to sing alone on stage in front of an audience. It helped me to build up my self-confidence. That may prove essential in the future. CPU. wa-J Gm rgc NThQ
