WEEK #2: Thursday

It’s Thursday, which means there’s only 24 hours left before it’s the weekend!  On today’s Coffee Break With the Ballet we’ve got another installment of “Stars of OBT” and another “Random Thursday Question” to entertain you and give your brain a little end-of-the-week mini-vacation.  You’re welcome!
