I grew up doing community theatre. Then I went and got edumicated in it and began to get all perfessional… (excuse my inability to talk seriously about my qualifications…) To me, community theatre is all about the joy of theatre. In Utah–community theatre doesn’t always translate as amateur. And professional theatre doesn’t always translate intoContinue reading “Carousel and Theatre in Utah”

I can’t review for Midvale Main Street Theatre. I work there too much to give any sort of unbiased opinion. And I notice things that are right and wrong about productions that other people won’t really notice. So this is not a review. When it comes to their latest production–Legally Blonde: The Musical — thisContinue reading “Legally Blonde: The Musical”

Yesterday, I was carrying my laundry on my back from the laundry hut across the road to my apartment with this beautiful pink bag. As I walked in my beautiful dress with my beautiful cotton flowery shoes over the little wooden bridge, I felt like a dog. Not ugly like a dog. But rather likeContinue reading “35 and Feeling Fine.”

Today we sang “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” in church. The words, “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love… Here’s my heart, O, take and seal it. Seal it for thy courts above.” The speakers were a husband and wife who have served together in the churchContinue reading “Tomorrow”

Today is a funny assortment of little miracles that lead me to one big miracle. To explain why today was a miracle might lessen it. But today was one of those days that reminds me why I am who I am. Unexplainable phenomena. Stories from one part of my life colliding with another part ofContinue reading “Miracles”

This morning on X96, they had an X poll about what annoys you most about your spouse. One guy complained that his wife leaves a pile of dirt in the corner of the kitchen after she sweeps. She only sweeps it into the garbage every couple of days. The host asked if he had toldContinue reading “A Long Post About Being a Woman”

Today I got to see baby Evangeline Lily blessed by her daddy. Such a beautiful blessing. She’s a lucky little lady. Such good parents. Today I’m grateful for beautiful Utah skies, healthy babies, the country, and time on a Sunday to visit loved ones.

I’m sitting in the quiet empty lobby on opening night. The theatre is crowded, backstage is crowded, but I’ve found a peaceful place to just sit for a moment.

(This post contains language unsuitable for anyone who doesn’t like the word bitch.) (Sorry. When you read it, pretend like I wrote b$#tch instead.) When I was 16, I played Mrs. McGlone in The Unsinkable Molly Brown at the Stage Stop Theatre. Michael Bahr directed me. I was the mean lady who didn’t like MollyContinue reading “I’m a Bitch”

Once upon a time, I was at a rehearsal for a show. At this rehearsal, I expected to find my cast mates hard at work building the stage. Instead, I discovered that the show Carousel was headed in a whole different direction. It’s going to be incredible. Carousel–the story of a young fighter–looking for inspirationContinue reading “The Boxer”
