Tonight was the opening for the murder-mystery dinner theatre at the Quarterline Cafe. It was really intimate because we had a grand total of 5 audience members! But it was really fun, the paying customers seemed to enjoy themselves as they played along and attempted to guess whodunit and why to win a fantastic prize. […]

That seems likes an oxymoron since the United States originated the concept of the musical. It seems like we were in competition with our cousins across the big pond in the 1970s & ’80s with the Second British Invasion and the shows of Andrew Lloyd Webber and others like Les Miserables. Richard Rodgers and Oscar

Last night, I attended WCCT’s annual Willie Award Ceremony. I had a good time with many of my wonderful friends I have made over the past nearly four years and two I made just over a year ago! Before I attended the event, I bought a small bouquet for my favorite nominee. When Megan and

Well.. “Once again we have saved humanity as we know it. And the good news is they are not going to prosecute.” (Anyone care to take a stab at that?) Today wrapped up one of my favorite stage roles and experiences. Although I have become almost used to a one weekend run this year, it

Well… Friday night began our final weekend of performances and this was another dandy. My goon had to take over the lights and sound, so I had to hire a new man. Good help is sooo hard to find. I am happy to say that my new employee did an admirable job… except for one

tonight, the cast had a brush up rehearsal. Necessary when you have a two weekend run to keep it fresh in our minds so it doesn’t become stale. Well… it may not have become stale, but it was far from sane! It was just a fun, goofy time something that could have definitely made the
