Bestor Discusses Sundance Summer Theater at June Forum BY LAUREN GL1SSON Sundance Theatre's presentation presenta-tion rang loud and clear with the music of Kurt Bestor at the First Friday Forum this month. For the 2001 summer season, Sundance Theater has a number of spectacular productions including in-cluding the musical comedy Funny Girl, theatrical treat for children Apple to Grandma and a sing-a-long production of the musical Sound of Music. The summer season runs from June 30 to September 8. Bestor opened the forum by Better Fitting at Lower Prices!

Scoresby said leaders need to activate choice, establish responsibility and accountability, share the power with those they lead, join people in a common cause, set very high standards, inspire confidence con-fidence through moral character and integrity, develop leadership in other people and understand change. Furthermore there are six leadership principles to actively implement the practices of high performance leadership. The principles Scoresby presented included: fostering trust, creating creat-ing a vision, developing strategy, energizing alliances, activating transformations and measuring progress, achieving results and resetting the vision. Of course, the hardest part is combining three patriotic songs, chosen by the audience, into a beautiful arrangement.
