I received an email from my college roomate. It has been 28 years since we graduated from college, and we still try to stay in touch. He was a religion and history major in school with an avid interest in music, theater and comic books. I was a Math/Computer major with an interest in girls […]

What was that game? The one I liked? I remember what it was about, sort of. No that wasn’t the game, but it was like that one. I think this is it, but I don’t remember that rule. Ok, has that happened to you? No? I guess you don’t play any of the large

Tuesday night is date night – where Lisa and I go out together. This week’s night started a bit early with a trip to the medical center where I found out that my nasty Oscar-Night fall left me with no broken bone… But with a bleeding kidney. I will get an ultrasound on Thursday and

Because of our extensive scene changes (they are getting better, and

I dunno… the past day or two I have just had this burst of creativity or energy or excitement as the days count down. Tonight, we actually went through the entire show start to finish for the first time without stopping only for notes between the acts. All in all, it went pretty well. We
I received an email forward full of “Creative Puns for Educated Minds”. Some of them are really cute, so I decided to publish them here on the blog. While reading these, you will groan at least once, but if you don’t smile or even laugh out loud, you might be a little bit crabby and
Although there is just as much excitement and hard work involved in producing a non-musical, there is simply nothing like the thrill I personally get when involved with a BIG musical. Not only is there lines to memorize, character to establish, blocking to perfect, and everything else involved there is the added excitement of song
