It’s New Years Eve.  So much has been said about this decade that for lack of a better name is being called the post 9/11 decade. Remember Seattle’s public Millennium Celebrations that got cancelled because of a terrorist plot.  Remember the sight gag on late night TV, Seattle’s New Year’s Celebration as a few guys [...]

I am still struggling with the production process and how it all went down, how Kendall was disappointed with my work and I was so upset that I shook. Because Kendall told me that I was drifty and unfocused in rehearsal and because of all the talk about stepping up and taking on production tasks, [...]

It has taken me a long time to figure out that when we walk in the door at 6:00 pm it is the start of the pre-show for a three hour dinner/homework/bath/bed experience produced by myself, every school night to varying audience reaction.

My Kid and her Girl Cousin have just run in the front door with their dolls; “They’re spraying a house and the lawn of the church.  We had to run all the way to get away from the bad smell!  We held our breath!”  They are perhaps a little too aware of environmental toxins.    [...]
