What is the biggest challenge you will face in the next six months? In an interview for a newspaper article on my new theatre organizations, StoryZ, I suggested that one of the main challenges going forward was getting actors to join in the cause. My interactions with people at Chamber of Commerce events have nettedContinue reading “Come Play With Us!”

Ahhh, Look At All My Fav’rite People
Who are your favorite people to be around? As a life-long introvert who only recently has said, “Screw it, life’s too short, and who cares what people think?” (as I venture into the local social scene to raise awareness of my non-profit theatre company), I would say that the list of favorite people to beContinue reading “Ahhh, Look At All My Fav’rite People”
The Gift That Keeps On…Well, You Know…
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. When I was a kid, I had a great interest in science. For Christmas I would get a telescope, a microscope, a chemistry set—the science interest du année—all sorts of things to expand my knowledge. As I grew older, the gifts became more intangible. Going outContinue reading “The Gift That Keeps On…Well, You Know…”
Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Read All About it!
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do? In the old days of kids hawking newspapers on street corners, they’d yell, “Extra, extra, read all about it!” to announce that special edition of the paper containing what CNN labels every story, “Breaking News.” (I maintain it’s not really breaking newsContinue reading “Wuxtry! Wuxtry! Read All About it!”
Delete Files(s): Yes or No?
Do you need a break? From what? When I moved from my three-story (plus basement) brick Victorian house, I sold many things, I gave away much, but still had a great deal of items I didn’t want to part with. Since I was moving in with someone, there wasn’t room for it all, and soContinue reading “Delete Files(s): Yes or No?”
Good Day. Sunshine.
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end. My most ideal day would begin when I spontaneously woke up. No alarms, no construction noises, no rap music emanating from a passing car. Just becoming awake when I’ve slept enough. After a shower, breakfast, a couple of quick games on my phone and a newContinue reading “Good Day. Sunshine.”
Rich AND Famous?
See, I’ll settle for just famous. I’m doing okay financially at the moment with my late wife’s social security, my pension, and my annuitized income. And I started a non-profit theatre company simply because I didn’t need to become rich. But the famous part? I’m working on that. This newspaper article is the start: “RetiredContinue reading “Rich AND Famous?”
Theatre Traditions!
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions. Side note (at the beginning, which seems like an odd place for a side note, but hear me out): I recall responding to a similar prompt not too long ago. Rather than repeat myself, I’m pivoting to talk about theatre traditions. In my last position, onContinue reading “Theatre Traditions!”
And….Action!
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time? When I announced my retirement, people asked me what I would do in my free time. “Travel and creative projects!” I would say. There hasn’t been as much travel as I would have liked because, well, let’s face it, arranging a trip is often likeContinue reading “And….Action!”
Not Attractive
Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting. There’s an amusement park in Pittsburgh called Kennywood. Apparently it has been around forever—or at least as long as the cultural memory of the people I meet. They return year after year to recall the events of their past.Continue reading “Not Attractive”
