Dreams and Juntas!!

Dreams and Juntas!!

Sunday's production of "It's a Wonderful Holiday," produced by Greg Essington and Will Hearn (see previous post) demonstrated the power of a closely knit group of peers ... working together to fulfill a dream.

A group of our college and high school kids planned, produced and promoted this production entirely by email and phone. And they were enrolled in schools scattered all over the country! The group - held together by the thinnest thread - pulled together on the basis of talents, energy and dreams and it worked.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN formed the earliest Junta in America in 1727. The tiny group eventually evolved into the first American lending library and the University of Pennsylvania.

The power of the Junta is greater than ever ... email, weblogs, cell phones and satellites!! Why don't all of us with dreams in art and music begin our own Junta?
