I cannot believe it has been that long since I portrayed one Daniel Francis Hannigan in my high school senior year. 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 […]
For the 25th anniversary celebration of Broadway’s longest running musical, a special performance of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera was presented at London’s Royal Albert Hall. This fully staged extravaganza was filmed for release on video; however, it was also released to a select number of movie houses throughout the world. Over the

It is gettng very close… about a month and a half (of course, February is a VERY short month!!!!). However, I am very, VERY pleased with where I am at this point in the process. After all, I have never before embarked on an adventure quite like this… from infancy to finish, my OWN creation

Seems like spring is the beginning of the new Broadway season. Guess they have to get in to hit that Tony deadline. In any case, I see a gaggle of revivals, hollywood turned stage productions (for better or worse), and one-man shows among the already established shows. It appears that there is a new revolving

SO GLAD Megan could get tickets! Back in June, I learned that the 25 Anniversary of Les Misérables was making its way to the Stranahan. I did not forget but with all the eventful events surrounding my family the past few months, it kind of took a back seat. However, Megan was able to score

Quite an experience (fun but at times busy). Answering phones, waiting on the line of theatergoers, marking charts, getting the tickets, running credit cards,

Nope, didn’t even make the callbacks. There was a message waiting when I got home the day after stating that I did not make the show. It’s been a long time since I didn’t make a show. This is not what it sounds like- in recent history I have only tried out for Oliver! and

It just figures. The show I would prefer to be in starts its run first, so it would only be natural that its auditions would be first, right? Of course not. The runs are actually close, with the closing weekend of the one being the opening of the other. If you were to read into
Tonight (or last night) was the 65th presentation of The Antoinette Perry Award for Excellence in Theatre. Once again, Neil Patrick Harris shined as the host as he poked fun at himself, Spider-Man (30 seconds of jokes about the troubled musical), and battled with Hugh Jackman to see who would be the better host. Really

There’s not a lot to write about in my life. I tend toward things remaining the same in my life, nothing really new that I haven’t already mentioned in other writings (back when I used to write…). Still at the same job, doing the same thing, going to church, leading 4th and 5th grades, haven’t
