OTLA Past President Derek Johnson Plays to a Different Jury of Peers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(Eugene, Oregon) -- Derek Johnson, of Johnson, Clifton, Larson & Schaller, P.C., donned costume and makeup for a series of recent and unique, out-of-court appearances in mid-December.

Johnson, like other parents of students in the Oregon Ballet Academy,  got the chance to play Lane Community College's Performance Hall in the Eugene performance of Sleeping Beauty.  As the King in the play, Johnson appeared with his wife  Lynette Williams as the Queen and his budding ballet-star daughter Lucianna Johnson as one of the play's fairies.

"It's a great way  to be part of my daughter's life and, at the same time, participate in a community and cultural event," says  Derek.
