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

Satisfying Hard Work
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
Retaining the Life Blood of Volunteers
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
The Shocking Amount Created in 5 Weeks at CET
You may be shocked to see just how many shows I design, organize and build, get performance ready and then strike, all within a 5 week period. I also manage and track the progress of the other tech staff (props, puppets, masks, lighting and sound). I do pick up a saw or a drill or… Continue reading The Shocking Amount Created in 5 Weeks at CET
Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind
Phew! Is right! This past week has been nuts! I hardly made it home... dishes piled up... I have no clean clothes... the weeds are taller than the tomatoes... the grass is unruly... there are no healthy foods in the house... That's right... this past week was the last LONG week of CET. I worked… Continue reading Phew! I Made It to the End of the Whirlwind
Satisfied with Lilli’s CET Experience
Today I am celebrating my youngest and the joy she has found in Children's Educational Theatre (CET). I admit, it is a ton of work for me... but she is worth it! Seven years ago I agreed to take on Technical Director for CET with the promise that my youngest would be able to participate. … Continue reading Satisfied with Lilli’s CET Experience
4 Weeks of CET down – One More to Go before the Summer Rush is over
Phew! Summer is moving along so fast, yet, in the middle of the week it feels long. This week has been so busy! Last Saturday, John, Lilli and I drove Bend for the Celebration of Life party for my Grandma White. We met Kimber and Ray there. They had fun "camping" on Grandma and Grandpa's… Continue reading 4 Weeks of CET down – One More to Go before the Summer Rush is over
It is hard to recreate something you built before. It never quite recreates with the same amazing look. Although I like how the set for Lion King Jr at CET has come together, but the original set is a work I love! Click here to read about that show and that set. The director for… Continue reading
Summer is Moving Along
Doing a little catch up. Last Saturday John went on a little hike. He left on Friday evening and slept in his car. In the morning, he got up and hiked to Jefferson Park in the Cascade Mountains. It looks very pretty. However, I don't see myself making this walk. He said it was harder… Continue reading Summer is Moving Along

Wow!!! What a crazy week!!! We have been so crazy busy. We started the week working way too many hours and we ended the week working way too many hours! We worked on a float for the 4th of July parade for my theatre kids. I also helped my friend's cast create a simple set… Continue reading Celebrating Our Independence!
