To say that the weekend of Miracle on 34th Street was great is putting it mildly. I am so proud to have been part of this wonderful cast of on-stage and off characters. Several newcomers who have never before been in a show, some who have not been on for years, and the veterans who just […]

Last night…. Another Op’nin… Another Show! Have to work at 8 this morning so I saved my post til 7:17AM. This is WHY I LOVE THE STAGE! The first moments of a live production in front of an audience is so exhilarating. So pleased and blessed that nearly all of the evening was a tremendous

This year marks two centennial anniversaries. Of course, the most famous being the launch and sinking of the SS Minnow (err,,) RMS Titanic.

Last night was Kathrines’s 6th Annual Recital (it was my second). I began the day going for one last run-through (for both of us as she accompanied me). Following my triumphant gig a little more than a month ago, I was challenged to get out of my Musical Theatre box and try something a little

This afternoon, I had the pleasure to sit and enjoy the final performance of an area company’s production of “Annie.” I was NOT disappointed. Several of my theatrical colleagues and friends had roles on
So glad that I got to take in 2 SUPER shows last weekend amid all the hectic goings on otherwise. As I pointed out in my last post, Nuncrackers was hilarious, kudos once agin to to Mare for going the extra mile by steppin out on stage to fill the role of Sister Amnesia as

I was fortunate enough to take in two musical performances today. It began as I attended the dress rehearsal of my nieces’s elementary Christmas program. A Bug’s Christmas was adorable. 2nd Grader Alyssa had a speaking role as a wood nymph. Before the show began, she caught a glimpse of my from the risers and

Well… I finally set the date in which I will put on glorious display that which I have been concentrating on for sometime. It is just less than 5 months away but it will be here before I know it. Even with this leg of mine the last 7 months have not been slow… although
Tonight, I joined Megs to partake in a concert performed by The Black Swamp Strings of which CC is a cellist. I remember learning a month or so ago that the concert was this weekend but I was not sure of the date, thank heaven my friend invited me to come on my SATURDAY OFF!
