For the last 6 weeks I have been working on the set for Mamma Mia at Central high School. It has been a huge project. It all started this past summer when my husband, daughter and co-worker went to see Mamma Mia at Broadway Rose in Portland. My co-work turned to me and said, "I… Continue reading Building a Taverna for Mamma Mia
Theatre has always been a place of self discovery for me. It has been a place where I could make sense of the world around me. Everyday I help out with the theatre program in my local school. Every day I see kids get out of their superficial cellular lives and start interacting with others,… Continue reading Theatre Helps a Person Discover Who They Are
Your weeks keep moving forward and by the looks of these family posts you may think that the only activity we ever do is work on the set for Mamma Mia. Well... I do spend a ton of time doing that. It is true. However, the real truth is, it's the only time I think… Continue reading Off We Sprint into October
So... why are the arts the first thing on a chopping block when budgets are in crisis?
It has been another busy week... starting with Saturday. I started the morning at the high school working on the set for Mamma Mia. Ii was on my own with this work party. The kids try hard and are learning good skills, but the work went rather slow. I did get a couple dads helping… Continue reading Wrapping Out September
I was a substitute today at school. In Production Workshop we are beginning a unit on improving character development. I showed the class a couple of great clips where seasoned actors shared some sound advice about the development of a solid, believable character. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-Kx_qNmzI0 I love what he had to say. He said it wasn't… Continue reading The Job of the Actor is to Understand, Not Judge the Character
This is how I feel my weeks are shaping up; too many things to do and not enough time nor energy to deal with it. Sadly, the first thing I drop is blogging daily. I do miss that. I like the therapy it has become for me. However, there are just not enough hours in… Continue reading Attempting to Stay Ahead
I had the opportunity to design lighting for Savannah Sipping Society, which was a part of the 2018 season at Pentacle Theatre. My friends, Jeff Witt and Dani Potter directed this delightful comedy with more sass than a glass of fine French wine (or so I'm told since I don't drink). When I read the… Continue reading Designing Lighting for Savannah Sipping Society
I am feeling very satisfied with the hard working, giving spirit of the kids and family members that came to work on the set over this Labor Day weekend. While others were spending time playing, these awesome people labored! Hardworking students really is an endangered species in today's environment. I am blessed to have a… Continue reading Satisfying Hard Work
Nearly all of the organizations I occupy myself, survive because of the generosity of volunteers. Whether I am working in a theatre setting or a school setting, volunteers play a pivotal role in the success of the project. However, some of the places I volunteer and work at are losing qualified, creative, seasoned, and hard… Continue reading Retaining the Life Blood of Volunteers
