Little did I know...
Being an alum you would think I would know the fun, hip places here in Greensburg. This past weekend, I went to St. Clair Park (right by of W. Otterman Street) to listen to a performance by the “Stage Right Sensations”. To be quite honest, I had no idea what encompassed this non-profit organization. One word…AWESOME.
Growing up in the lovely small town of New Bethlehem, PA, I was not exposed to the opportunities that the children of Greensburg (and every other well established town in the country) have.
There were organized sports and the jazz, tap, dance classes…but that was it. What was a girl to do?!
Stage Right is such a great organization for young children as well as the older children. This is Westmoreland County’s only professional musical theatre company AND school for the performing arts! I was so amazed at the talent that was on that stage! Not only could a student benefit from Seton Hill’s Visual and Performing Arts Department, but students could also utilize and “give back” to the community by participating with Stage Right. Check Stage Right out!

Drumming to a Different Beat
Check out:
Article from Tribune Review, July, 17th, 2006
Music Therapy, in recent years, has been one of those majors that is up and coming. Individuals are no longer looking at assistant professor of music therapy, Laurie Jones, like she has 10 heads when she tells them what she does. Seton Hill’s Music Therapy Program is drawing interest from all over.
Recently, a ‘drum circle’ was held at an Excela Health participant, Latrobe Hospital. Other Excela hospitals in the region are Westmoreland and Frick. At this event, ‘students’ were instructed to ‘feel the pulse’ and they were literally beating away their stress!
This program is even more amazing when you look at the numbers. In just 3 years of being a part of SHU, the Music Therapy program has 18 students! For more information about Seton Hill’s Music Therapy Program, Click HERE.
