Hometown Girl Done Good

Les Ballets des Monte Carlo is currently performing in Pittsburgh, so my little sister April (who’s with the company) is getting some mentions in the Pittsburgh papers.

My favorite April soundbite of all time was maybe 10 years ago when a Boston Globe reporter asked her if it was weird to play opposite my brother as romantic lead, I think the context was a Boston Ballet production of Swan Lake. She said something like “there’s not too much confusion with real life here. I mean, I’m also playing a bird.”

Sadly, nothing here lives up to that fine standard. Still, I’m happy to see her in some domestic papers, even if that means the McKeesport Daily News.
