CLASS OF 1997 | 2023 | SUMMER ISSUE

Here are the latest updates. . . .

Alek Lev is directing the opera Orpheus & Erica (an adaptation of Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice), with a mixed cast of hearing opera singers and deaf actors with Victory Hall Opera in Charlottesville, Virginia. Alek notes that considering that he was a theater major at school with a focus on directing and began his acquisition of American Sign Language in ASL 1, it seems as though he is actually working in a job that leverages precisely what he studied at Wesleyan. As he says, “it’s a liberal arts miracle.” The performance will be available to stream after the end of the run on VictoryHallOpera.org. We saw the video trailer, and it looks phenomenal! We are looking forward to watching the performance online.

Madeleine Perez writes from LA, where she has been with her husband and son for 12 years now. She is a Realtor at Compass and was named as one of their top 25 agents in 2021 and 2022. Congratulations, Madeleine! She would love to hear from other Wes people out here so please reach out! And she says it really did snow in LA in February.

Sasha’s family got a puppy, who is very cute but wakes up sooooo early. But again, so cute, so all is forgiven.

We wish everyone here and all your people (and puppies and friends and nonhumans) the absolute best. And please email us your updates.

Best,

Jessica and Sasha
