Generally, I write about things that are a diversion of some sort from the nuts and bolts of everyday life. I almost never delve into those three explosive topics (money, politics, or religion) unless it is a theme of a show that I have seen. But there have been a few posts in the last…

Radically Imagine what the New Year will bring
As the New Year approaches it seems this is the time to think about all of the possibility that lies ahead of us. Resolutions will be bandied about with the hopes that they will be accomplished; promises to go to the gym, give up sugar, or be better about their dependence on caffeine (FYI, I…
The best of NY theatre in 2016
If I am making a list of the theatre that has stood out this year, I would be remiss to not mention what I saw in New York in 2016. So here is what I thought was a few of the best of New York theatre. To be fair, it’s a list comprised of what…
A quick break from our regularly scheduled programming
I write about theatre, so I am sure the election is something that does not seem like the most natural topic. But I think it is important to address because it is something that is rippling through the country. I obsess about theatre so that I can learn more about people. Art in all forms…
When kindness is confusing…a drive through memoir
I was driving home from a show last night (which I really enjoyed and will write about on another post) and decided that what I was getting for dinner after 10pm on a Friday was a Happy Meal from Mcdonalds….because that’s what mature adults can decide to do. I ordered and proceeded to try to pull…
I love when a plan comes together – THE GRIFT
Have you ever been to a show and just wanted to join in? Do you have what it takes to con a con man? Or dreamt of solving a mystery and foiling the bad guy? Do you like a taste of adventure in your theatre? THE GRIFT from The La Jolla Playhouse “Without Walls” series…
We’re all time travelers….
Happy New Year everyone! It’s that time where we all promise to be better about something, or improve ourselves in some way, or make vows that we make with the best of intentions. Since I am no different, I promise to be better about posting more regularly, improve my content (with your feedback, let me know…
Wondering Where I have been? …..Probably not
I’m sure that the question that is the mind of all eleven of my readers minds – where have I been? I am sure you all noticed I disappeared, right? Nevermind, don’t answer that, let me have my fantasy. Sadly, I was in a car accident and besides having to drive a rental car that…
Wondering what happened?
I’m sure that the question that is the mind of all eleven of my readers minds – where have I been? I am sure you all noticed I disappeared, right? Nevermind, don’t answer that, let me have my fantasy. Sadly, I was in a car accident and besides having to drive a rental car that…
90 Second review: The Orphan of Zhao at The La Jolla PLayhouse
The best thought out things are posted after midnight, right? Like many of my ideas I am going to jump into this without really thinking it through. I came up with what I thought was a great idea: immediately after I see a show I post a quick 90 second review of it from the…
Challenge Accepted! Where I make a foolish Culture Shock dance related decision
So Angie Bunch is a super awesome person who was a blast to talk to and you should all support her and Culture Shock by going to see them perform at the San Diego Fringe Festival and take a class or two at their studio. Which leads me to this (sort of) challenge that I have…
Amazing Priest has musical wedding surprise
To wrap up the week, here is something that is amazing. Surprises at a wedding are usually less than ideal. Surprises coming from your priest at your wedding are even less desired. This video is from Ireland where a couple is getting married and the Irish priest officiating their ceremony has an amazing surprise for…
