Kelly McCreary Instagram – I had admired you from afar since childhood. Admiration turned to awe on the very first day I had the honor of being directed by you. Since then I have watched you spin innumerable plates simultaneously, never daring to let even one drop, because your passion was equal for them all: family, directing, performing, producing, writing, choreography, training the next generation of triple (or more!) threats, giving back to the community, mentoring directors… the list goes on and on and on!! How you manage to squeeze it all into the same 24 hours per day we all have will remain a mystery, but this will not: Your name will go down in history as one of the greatest creators and contributors to the culture this nation has ever known. I am so grateful to count you as family, to be cared for and nurtured by you, personally and professionally. Congratulations on your Governors Award, @therealdebbieallen. No one deserves it more. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
