This past weekend we had the premiere presentation of our interactive murder mystery, Whispers in a Dark Manor. I’d venture to say that it was overall a success. When talking with a local hotel to use their conference room for a performance, they expressed interested in doing a murder mystery dinner. We agreed, and IContinue reading ““You Are The Killer!””

The Art of Being Noticed
Julie Morris recently contacted me about doing a guest post on musofyr.org, and so here it is! The Art of Being Noticed: A Guide for Creatives on Gaining Recognition Making your mark can seem daunting in the bustling world of creative professions. Yet, with the right strategies, you can elevate your visibility and forge aContinue reading “The Art of Being Noticed”
Another Skill
What skill would you like to learn? I’m at the point in my life where I already have a set of honed skills, and adding to it seems unlikely. What’s that rule—10,000 hours of practice to master something new? I’m not sure I have that dedication, patience, or even time to invest in a newContinue reading “Another Skill”
Improv!
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about. I was very excited about the StoryZ Improv Night. We—members of the StoryZ theatre company—created the event, and I was the master of ceremonies. We had three performers, including one from the audience (though a ringer, actually one of our own), and elicited some honestContinue reading “Improv!”
Post Mortem
We always ended our theatre productions with a post-mortemdiscussion to talk about what worked and what didn’t. On 7/26/2023, StoryZ, our new theatre and performance group, hosted its inaugural offering, an Open Mic Poetry Event. I’ll be having a longer discussion with others soon, but I wanted to jot down some points before I forgetContinue reading “Post Mortem”

Like so many towns in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, it sprang up because of industry and railroad access, flourished for awhile, and then became depressed. Now it has some new businesses set inContinue reading “In My Neighborhood”
Concert? Oh Well…
So I’m a bit bummed out. I discovered that one of my favorite bands of all time, Riverside, is coming to Pittsburgh. And I would love to go. The timing works out great. They probably even have parking at the venue. But I checked one important thing: standing room. A few years ago I attendedContinue reading “Concert? Oh Well…”
Concert or Karaoke?
When did live music performances and concerts become sing-along events? A few years back I attended two of the annual ROSfest events. ROSfest is the Rites of Spring progressive rock festival, formerly held in Gettysburg, PA in the excellent Majestic Theater. This was the first time I attended an event where the line for theContinue reading “Concert or Karaoke?”
