Show: Pocatello Friendship Force - Song & Dance Variety Show

The Role I Played: Singer & Dancer

Performance Date(s): May 24-June 4, 1978

City: San Jose, Costa Rica

Venues: High schools in San Jose, Costa Rica.

Comments: In 1978, our Highland High School drama group was chosen to be entertainment ambassadors on the Pocatello Friendship Force trip to San Jose, Costa Rica. The Friendship Force was begun by President Carter as a way of "promoting peace in the world through 'the force of friendship'." As you can see in the newspaper article below, we performed a variety of song and dance numbers for high school students in San Jose. It was an amazing, wonderful experience.
