I have a good life. I am grateful for my old friend Ben who came to see the show last night. We got to reconnect today over a table crowded with new friends and loved ones. Time flies, but friendship lasts forever. Tonight we close Reefer Madness.  A part of my heart is breaking. IContinue reading “Right Now”

Then I enjoyed some time with my dear Aunt Marylou and my cousin Brad and his lady love Shawna.  And after that, I drove up to Park City for aContinue reading “Beautiful Home”

We are up.  Big sigh of relief.  After celebrating a successful opening, Marissa, Natalia and I hopped in the same car and headed down the canyon.  Three reds.  The three of us are very different, but we’re all gingers so there’s a kind of sisterhood there.  And we just opened a show together, so there’sContinue reading “Opening Night”

Grateful that we’re about to go on for Reefer Madness preview performance.
