Hillside Youth Theater: 5 directors, 6 weeks, 20 years and 45 kids

Hillside Youth Theater

Antony Ferguson kind of grew up in the Hillside Youth Theater.  It's a theater-slash-academic-slash-life-skills program for the East and Central Hillside communities founded around twenty years ago.

Then around the time he started high school, he drifted away from the performing arts.

Now a theater major at UMD, it's fair to say Antony has "drifted back," and he's giving back, too, to the program that introduced him to "the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the crowd."

More information, including showtimes and how to get tickets to The Oddest Sea, is available here.

Lisa Johnson started her broadcast career anchoring the television news at her high school and spinning country music at KWWK/KOLM Radio in Rochester, Minnesota. She was a reporter and news anchor at KTHI in Fargo, ND (not to mention the host of a children's program called "Lisa's Lane") and a radio reporter and anchor in Moorhead, Bismarck, Wahpeton and Fergus Falls.Since 1991, she has hosted Northland Morning on KUMD. One of the best parts of her job includes "paying it forward" by mentoring upcoming journalists and broadcasters on the student news team that helps produce Northland Morning. She also loves introducing the different people she meets in her job to one another, helping to forge new "community connections" and partnerships.Lisa has amassed a book collection weighing over two tons, and she enjoys reading, photography, volunteering with Animal Allies Humane Society and fantasizing about farmland. She goes to bed at 8pm, long before her daughter, two cats, or three dogs.
