Big artsy fartsy day yesterday, chickens, starting with the New Ideas Festival week one noon reading of Mythmaking up in the Alumnae Theatre Studio. Not to worry, the family drama was all on stage – at least, for me it was. For the scoop on that, check out my ‘New…

Saturday was birthday and cabaret day, as I spent the afternoon with friends to celebrate their son’s third birthday. One of his friends declared it to be a “boy party” – the kids had split off into girls (who were mostly older and friends of the older sister) and boys.…

Loving and working in the theatre is very much like being in the mob: you can’t quit. Found myself talking about, thinking about, working on and otherwise attending the theatre a lot this past Friday night/weekend – from telling a new friend about my play Over the Lips over coffee on…
