As a budding actor, auditions can be very nerve wracking and even downright scary or terrifying. It's okay to be nervous. Being stressed and fearful is natural and it's bound to happen to you. A little (or a lot) of apprehension is perfectly acceptable. But what is absolutely unacceptable is for you to be ill… Continue reading Audition Helps!
I am passionate about education. I believe that the main mission of education should be to spark in students a desire to be a life-long-learner. Education is more than English, science and math. Education needs to inspire students to educated themselves - ongoing, voluntary and self-motivated.

School starts next week. I am not convinced the kids at school are ready for the start of a new year.

But we were looking for birthday present ideas for McKay and Hannah and… Continue reading Practically Perfect in Every Way
This spring I helped my friend Jeff with a production class at school that produced Aladdin Jr. We are getting better and better at this whole production class thing. Each student was assigned to a production team... set, lights, props, costumes, publicity. This show was successful in getting students involved in the production process from… Continue reading Aladdin Jr!
This year marks the 6th year my youngest daughter has participated in Children's Educational Theatre (CET). CET has been good for her.

I taught a mask making class for the first time ever at CET (Children's Educational Theatre) this year. I have to admit, I was a little worried about how I would do. The first theater experiences used mask. Masks ave been such a huge part of theater history from the Greeks to Comedia dell'Arte to… Continue reading Theatre Thursday – Mask Making
March brought an unexpected experience that has changed my perspective and given me great cause to think about the blessings we take for granted in a free country full of education and employment opportunities.
