Part of the celebration <br />th <br />was the installation of the Post-It Wall in the lobby. The many well-wishes and memories that patrons placed on the wall <br />are a reminder of the impact of the Hult Center on its patrons, performers, promoters and community. There is no <br />substitute for live performing arts. The experience changes lives and fortunes. Here are just a few quotes out of hundreds <br />of post-its. <br /> <br /> “You’ve widened my horizon! Love it all!” <br /> <br /> “30 years ago, I was an usher. Now? Costume designer for the Opera and Ballet. I wouldn’t be here without the Hult!” <br /> <br />“My toddler son was in the Nutcracker ballet as a mouse 27 years ago. He now teaches middle school drama and <br />choreography.” <br /> <br />“My first production at the Hult Center was WICKED and it knocked my socks off. Plus, I got to bond with a new colleague <br />at my job, so the Hult Center holds a special place in my heart.” <br /> <br /> “So stoked to graduate high school on the same stage where I’ve seen so many awesome performances.” <br /> <br /> “I remember sitting back stage while my mom played piano for Opera auditions. Now I love being here as an adult.” <br /> <br />“Thank you for opening the hearts and ears – over the years tens of thousands of elementary-age kids have come here <br />every year for your presentations of symphonic music. They really come back transformed and awed.” <br /> <br />Want to see what the 31 season will bring? Check out www.HultCenter.org.
