Do you know what tomorrow is? Are you aware of the beautiful, joyous occasion that tomorrow brings? Have you been looking at the calendar and counting down until you know how many minutes we have left? No? Well, I have. Because tomorrow dear friends, is Tony Nomination Day!
That’s right.  In just a few more hours, [...]


I’m Too Sexy for This Flu

This week I’ve been battling the grossest cold known to mankind.  I’m congested, I’m sniffling, and I’m currently rocking the voice of an 80 year old smoker who’s days away from speaking out of a box attached to her throat.  I have taken in so much cough medicine and Vicks Vapor Rub that I think [...]


A Little Courtesy, Please

One last reflection of my show before diving back into the world of Obama-land. 
For the sake of my sanity, I’m not going to rehash every moment of the show.  You don’t want to hear about it and I’m trying to move past it.  However, I noticed a few things this weekend about courtesy and respect [...]

All I can say is please wish us luck.  And come if you can.  We’re applause whores and we need you.
A few hours to go…. 
Remember, Armstrong Hall on the Colorado College Campus tonight at 8:00.  Tickets available at the door. 
(I’m still contemplating the Bali option in case you were wondering.  Anyone have a plane I [...]


The Great Escape

T minus 33 hours.  A mere 33 hours between me and my opening.  One rehearsal and a cue-to-cue and that’s all that’s left.  That’s it. 
Me and a pregnancy suit out on stage with a cast that barely knows their lines and a million things that could go awry.  Shaky sigh. 
I know I can do this.  [...]


What Fresh Hell is This?

Some of you may be expecting a post about the fact that tonight is the last debate.  It is the final attempt of the candidates to face each other, man to man, and address issues and concerns rather than hiding behind television and radio ads.  They are going toe to toe is what one can [...]


3… 2… 1…

It seems to me that October is currently a month of countdowns.  The clock on my wall which ticks so loudly at night isn’t just moving the second hand forward.  It’s ticking away towards a number of looming deadlines.
For instance, I am only three rehearsals from my opening night.  Three.  That’s one less than four.  [...]


The Crazy is Back

If I may be truly selfish for a moment and just ramble about something utterly non-election I need to talk about my show.  For those of you who’ve been here for a while, you know that I’m in rehearsal for a play for the Gay and Lesbian Theater Festival. 
Last year, apparently while under the influence [...]


And So it Begins

Last night saw rehearsal number one for the new show.  A small cast gathered together for the initial read-through of the script.  I will say that I’m quite excited about the people in the show.  Of the five-person cast, I knew all but one actor.  And I like all of them.  This is a shift [...]


When “Never” Means “Until Next Time”

Ladies and gentlemen, friends, family, strangers–I’d like to ask a favor of you.  Could someone please throw something large, heavy, and possibly jagged at my head?  Really, you’d be doing me a favor.
Let’s all think back.  Way back to October of 2007.  Back in October I was in full swing for the Colorado Springs Gay [...]
