"What a lady, what a night"
A Song For Suzy
August 4, 2017 • Suzy Bassani Theater Off Third • Dayton Metro Library - Muse Machine celebrated the opening of the Suzy Bassani Theater Off Third, dedicated to our Founder and guiding star, with a song and dance sampling from Muse students, alumni and artists. The event drew crowds from the extended Muse family past and present: teachers, supporters and so many that have helped Muse to reach young people. A wonderful reunion was topped off with music and dance in the new performance space.
