Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in the spring!  He will be in the Performing Arts for Everyone department, primarily working with the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage (which puts on free performances at 6 P.M. everyday).  He'll also be working with some of the Kennedy Center's other festival performances. He says "I'm very excited to be back home in D.C. at such an amazing institution!"
