One of the perks of living closer to my hometown is that it’s easier for visitors to come up. Yesterday, my sister and three of my nieces came up from Louisville for an ultra-quick turn around trip. We had brunch, went to the lake, stumbled on an art festival, and toured about on the train. …
Bopping around on the internet today, I came across this. I don’t know these folks but I want to befriend them now on account of how delightful I think they are for doing this. Awesome. I love to cook and bake, but usually take somewhat of a hiatus from the big projects during summer months. …
My monkeys and I have loved performing in every city so far, but we’re particularly excited about our Louisville performance next month. They’ve never been, but they’ve already heard me talking so much about it (they’re very good listeners, after all), that they’ve gotten pretty enthusiastic themselves. I might have to drag them to some…
Dearest Third Metatarsal (on my right foot): Firstly I would like to apologize for having not been fully acquainted with you before the incident. You seem like such a fantastic metatarsal, and if it’s any consolation, I’ve made much more of an effort to befriend not just you but your familiar on the left foot…
Yippie! I just got the ticketing details for The Good, the Bad, and the Monkey at the Bunbury this August. I am super excited that I’ll be taking this show to my hometown of Louisville, KY later this summer! This show is a huge deal for me. It’s the most “me” thing I’ve ever done…
What if They Held a Peace Rally and Nobody Came? is the delightful sketch show I’m directing as part of Joe Janes’ 365 Sketches Project. WNEP is co-producing all 365 sketches–and it’s happening right now! Pretty exciting stuff, if you ask me. Please come check out any of the remaining 26 performances. But of course…
The Good, The Bad, and The Monkey Singlehood, Dating, and the Search for Something Real in conjunction with the Bunbury Theatre Amanda Rountree takes a hilarious–and at times, heartbreaking–look at the cycles of relationships and the myths that we tell ourselves about finding a soul mate…..using sock monkeys. Written and Performed by Amanda Rountree Directed…
He woo’d me with his knowledge, love, and skill of good theatre. He wow’d me with so many possibilities and opportunities. He made it easy for my family to visit. He was–and continues to be–supportive of my creative whims. I’m not saying it’s always been easy. He didn’t really understand my vegetarian diet at first. …
Sometimes I don’t feel like I’m doing enough as an artist. Okay, so I am aware that I can oft be a wee hard on myself. Because of that, I figured I’d sit down and list out what really is going on. You know, to find out if I really have something to worry about…
Whew! A huge thank you to everyone who participated in my online raffle to raise touring funds for The Good, the Bad, and the Monkey. What a success! I was able to raise enough for my airfare to Austin with some left over to either apply to my hotel stay there or (since I’m hoping…
