Our condolences go to the family of Joy Davis who passed away this week. Joy will be missed but not forgotten. She was a very talented choreographer and her last show that she worked on for the OBT was "Little Shop of Horrors," alongside her husband, Jansen Davis, who was the director.
We will always remember her kindness and friendship!
