Good news all around! Dad will be home soon (within a few weeks). Wednesday, the therapist had Dad come to the house for about a half hour to see how he did in old surroundings. While still under guidance, he walked through the main floor…. though the front door; to the bedroom, the bathroom, and …
2010… What a year! So much happened that I do not know where the time went! It started off LAST January when I received my first two awards for acting in You Have the Right to Remain Dead (as everyone’s ill-fated, lovable, hammy narrator… Harnell Chesterton) and for bringing the Grinchi Scrooginess of Mr. Henry …
Looking for a bit of Christmas spirit (not THAT kind of spirit)? My nephew Alex, Megan, and I found a smattering at the Huber tonight as the Village Players presented a duo of one act plays. Things got started with an adorable retelling of the immortal Nutcracker story. Most of the cast was made up …
Well.. last night’s opening night performance of The Hound of the Baskervilles was quite a success. What began with reservations numbering 17 turned into a crowd of over 70 before curtain time. Quite a feat when the small village had a home high school football game. Of course, everyone is not a sports fan and …
Not that they are not all fun, but our next to final rehearsal was more of a chance for the cast to just hang out, eat some pizza and cookies which I DID BAKE MYSELF! and run through the show unencumbered by technical stuff. I had planned to bake up a batch of Toll House …
Two weeks from tonight will be OPENING NIGHT of the Sherlock Holmes classic (still can’t believe how many odd looks I get whenever I mention the title) The Hound of the Baskervilles at the splendiferous (yes… that is a word) Huber Opera House! For my part, I am happy to state that my lines are learned …
AH… the first week of a new adventure in acting! A larger cast this time. A more limited role… but an important role (which is what I wanted for the moment). The chance to develop a new accent. ACCENT?! And a chance to drive everyone crazy with a physical change… a change that will be …
Yes, my first byline appeared in today’s local newspaper. VERY exciting and fun how it came about. Last Thursday, I received an email asking if I would like to go an review the local production of OKLAHOMA!. The extremely talented regular reviewer of theatrical productions was unavailable for press night. The fact that he is …
So ends yet another wonderful, memorable experience. TaLi Lo is a new non-profit production company in its infancy started by a true theatre lover with the help of her two sisters. I think this is just great. She plans to have stage extravaganzas periodically at the Quarterline Cafe. A portion of each ticket sale will go …
TONIGHT’S PERFORMANCE WAS PURE MAGICAL GOLD! W had 15 reservations tonight and by the time we started our evening of mystery and mayhem, I’m sure we had at least 30. Quite a switch from the nine we had last night. I AM SO PSYCHED! I know I mentioned that I was scared to death when …
