The Blog is Back!!  This time with the accent on all things Theatre and Books.  To start things off I’m combining my love of theatre and books with a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the musical CARRIE based on the classic Stephen King novel. It was 1988 and I was still trying to make […]

Lately, you can’t go online or turn on the TV without reading an article or hearing about the transgender population.  And what a great thing that is.  It’s about time there is an open, serious discussion about this community – of which I admittedly know very little about – in order to educate and inform […]
