While at work today, the boss informed me of a spectacular trip her brother and nephew (a seventh grade theatre buff) were recently part of. Her brother is the principal of a high school whose choir just took a trip to the Big Apple. Not only did the group perform at Carnegie Hall (that in

Not really, because I am so NOT PERFECT in any (rather long every) way. I see by the old stat count that I have reached a total of 666 posts (I’ll get off that with this one). The title… a friend recently posed an interesting question. Does acting make you more humble when it comes

Actually, one of my favorite moments of mass
Recently, I received an email from a high school friend asking for advice on auditioning for a movie role. She has never acted before but knew of my passion for theatre and decided to come to me for whatever reason. I have never tested for film, but gathered that my stage experiences would help. Here
