muh-numma-nuh
One of my all-time favorite tunes–evocative of the way I’m feeling these days: Â but, are those pink things cows or aliens or what?

4 down. 1 to go!
We’ve now completed four performances of The Gargoyle Garden, and each performance has been better than the previous. I feel like the production has really hit its stride–the make-up looks great, the stage action is getting sharp, the lighting crew is hitting every cue, and the singing is good. The audience response has been phenomenal–especially…

Gargoyle Garden casting: Complete!
Well, that was not that painful in the end… choosing the cast was long and arduous, and–as I noted in a previous post–was very sad when it came time to send rejection notices. But, we now have all the roles cast and I have to begin scheduling rehearsals!! The cast for the 2008 NYC international…
