This week has started off with two new new opportunities. First, the casting results of the Village Players’ production of The Sound of Music. I will be playing the role of Franz, the butler. At first I was unsure of how I felt about that… Dejected, miscast? I told me voice coach that I was really […]
Well.. another audition has come and gone. THIS time, I did say that I definitely was trying out for Captain Von Trapp. I had forgotten that Max does indeed sing in the stage version. However, since the general public is more familiar with the classic film version, most people may not know this. I feel

I was directed to this blogsite by a friend who taught school with the the little girl’s mother. I was still in college during Dorothy’s time at the elementary school but cannot remember her. Three years ago, Maddy was diagnosed with leukemia… a terrible illness I know all too well and not a day goes
I have to say that 2012 went out a lot better than it went in. I will not dwell on the hardships we faced last year but I still contend that it made us all (in a sense) stronger and brought us closer together. There were some happier times. I did get back on stage

And I could not be happier. I know that it has been two years since Hound of the Baskervilles but it really seems like yesterday especially this week when the last three months of fun work come to fruition. Each experience is a different challenge and along the way I am lucky to meet new performers
I am PLEASED to say that Agent James Bond, 007 is BACK armed with his license to thrill! After the rather lackluster performance of Quantum of Solace, Skyfall was a much needed breath of vitality to the 50 year franchise. YES, indeed in 1962, Dr. No was released as the first Bond movie. I will not detail the

Well…. the nephew, niece, and I have returned safely from the Hotel Transylvania. Rather humorous tale how the trip was initiated. I woke this morning to find a message from my eldest brother who is still down with SPOTTY(?) pneumonia…. honestly, has anyone ever heard of spotty pneumonia? The message was sent at 3:43AM asking if
