Hi all! First off, here are some recent pieces that have fallen from my pen. Stage manager Ronn Goswick is currently working on a show called Baby It's You which tells the story of a chapter in pop music, a woman who fostered the beginning of the Shirelles and went on to manage such artists as Burt Bacharach and Dionne Warwick. The show closed yesterday, but it will likely be starting up again soon.
Also, here is my contribution to my weekly project over at Squigs Knows His Lines. Jason Robert Brown, creator of such amazing Broadway shows The Last Five Years and Parade, is married to Georgia Stitt, a brilliant composer in her own right and music director/vocal coach. They and their daughter Molly currently live in LA when not gallavanting around the world on musical adventure. Georgia commissioned a sketch last year when Jason opened his most recent Broadway show, 13, and I was able to work with both of them on the piece which was presented on opening night of the show.I had a lovely time last night as the guest of friends John and Victor at the Candlelight Pavilion in Claremont. We had done shows together there back in the late 90s, and now John is artistic director. We had a good meal and watched 42nd Street. So many old friends were in the cast, and it was lovely to see them doing good work AND truly wonderful to reminisce on so many fond memories of that place.
Today is a day off from the Pimpernel show and I look forward to getting out and enjoying this beautiful day. In the midst of all I have going on (the show, lots of fun art, a looming tax prep appointment) I'm trying to get out and have some adventures. I did make a fun trip with my friend Nancy yesterday. I'll post some photos of that... but not yet. I'm taking some other folks to see this spiffy site on Thursday and I don't want to spoil the surprise. Other than that, I'm looking forward to our weekly visit to the Escondido farmer's market and a trip back home to visit with my Wichita peeps and possibly see a show. So as you can see, I'm staying happily busy. Life is good.
So until later, y'all... Take care. Peace and love!

Sat April 4th is the Birthday. I have a Free ticket to Disneyland but after finding a LIVE show we opted for Pimpernel instead. (Sorry Unca Walt) Hope y'all are still doing caberet on Sat nights!
See ya tomorrow! We're center, row 7. I'll be the LARGE person blocking 1/2 of row 8's view. :-)
So glad you've decided to visit us at Pimpernel. Happy early birthday. We are still presenting cabaret, but the schedule is a bit different. Now folks sing in the courtyard in front of the theatre before the show... between 5 and 6pm (I think). The box office should be able to answer for certain. Cheers!
