Karen Macfarlane tells the IGA where all the monsters have gone.

Yesterday's weather was both terrible and horrible: the elements have (unfortunately) adopted our conference theme. But literal and figurative sunshine from this point forward!

If you’re staying after the conference, this is the perfect theatrical experience! lookingglasstheatre.org/event/frankens…
