My dreams are usually pretty vivid. For a long time, I kept a dream journal. But I just lost the discipline after awhile. (And some of my entries were so illegible, I couldn’t even make out what happened.) I don’t write down my dreams nearly as often as I used to–but every once in a…

My friend and colleague, Mr. Joe Janes had this crazy idea where he’d write a sketch a day for 365 days. Well, he did it! I’m happy to be one of the directors for this project. Each director has two weeks worth of sketches and will have one performance each. All of the shows will…

The bad sore throat/cold that’s been going around caught up with me last weekend. Whether I picked it up from its tour of the cast/crew of the show I’m in or from it’s usual hangouts around any of the classes of kids I teach, I know not. But I was pretty self-satisfied that I seemingly…
Ack, okay. I’ll admit it. I make noises. All the time. Wack-a-doo little sounds can oft be witnessed escaping my mouth ’cause they’re simply superior at conveying my exact feelings than words are. And I love words. (Mmmm-num-num-num…don’t get me wrong! This lady loves words). But sometimes, noises are just better. Hoo-diddle-lee-dee!* It’s when I…
Next week, I’ll be doing one of my favorite things: teaching a fun improv class to folks who don’t have (or maybe never even thought they wanted) improv or acting experience. Does speaking in front of a large group make you nervous? Do you want to improve your communication skills at parties/gatherings or think faster…
Last night was the first rehearsal in the actual space for WNEP‘s show that opens next week. Because the show is based on the paintings of Edward Hopper (and perhaps also because I am such a visual person), I’ve been crossing my fingers for a very visually stimulating set. After last night’s rehearsal, I am…
When I click on “new post” this site immediately puts a blinking cursor into the space where I should put the title of my new post. That seems a little pushy to me. At least today it does. Maybe it’s because it’s the beginning of a new year. I’m not really sure where this post…
My head, my heart, and my soul are all still swimming from it all. About a year ago, I created some short, cute scenes involving dating and break-ups with a sock monkey playing the other character. They were entertaining and well-received. An audience member came up to me after one of my performances and asked…
