Nine years ago, Hanover Little Theatre elected me to its Board of Directors. A year later, I took on an officer position. Three years later, I became board President. For the past two years, I have served as Immediate Past President, a non-voting board position. I have done very little over those two years. First […]
Here are “free thoughts” on the cast and performance from Hamilton, which I recently saw in NYC: Michael Luwoye is a great Hamilton, but I wasn’t as blown away as I was led to expect from stuff I had read online. He was reserved in some spots and talk sang the beginnings to a bunch […]
I came to improv late. I didn’t act at all until 2009 and started improv in 2015. But as I delve back into my favorite improv books, I wonder what could have been. In late 1991 and early 1992, I didn’t know what I was going to do. I was laid off from my first newspaper […]
Seventeen years ago, I daydreamed about what my daughter’s life would be like. As we anticipated her birth, I would think about what she would accomplish in life. I generally focused on what sport she would pick and how she would set the world on fire. After watching her take part in the York County […]
Random thoughts on Hairspray Live: I have never seen the show or the movies – only listened to the music — so it was cool to actually see a production The interludes and commercials are annoying, but I imagine if they went without them, the complaint would be that the production wasn’t glitzy enough (or […]
Experts say that everything you do online could potentially haunt you forever. If that’s the case, I have put myself in deep trouble this week. We are in the middle of rehearsals for the upcoming production of “Sin, Sex & the CIA” at Hanover Little Theatre, and I volunteered to help find an important prop. […]
I have spent much of the past few weeks on stage at the Hanover Little Theatre. Actually, my participation in “The Fox on the Fairway” took much more time than that, but I don’t want to sound like I’m complaining. I don’t know why because that’s what I will end up doing anyway. The whole […]
Sometimes I deserve the reputation I get. I understand why people think I’m loud (I am), lazy (when it doesn’t inconvenience others too much) and obsessed with food and television. I feel happiest while eating on the couch while talking loudly about my favorite sitcoms. What flummoxes me is how some people develop certain opinions […]
One night in college, my friend Jeff and I had a little too much to drink. I do not recommend this course of action, but it happens. We walked to a party at some point and found ourselves a corner where we could hang out. We spent the rest of the night speaking to people […]
I can do this. That’s the thought which went through my head when the spotlight first hit me on opening night for “Miracle on 34th Street.” I had never really acted before – other than acting like a grownup for the past 20 years or pretending I knew what I was talking about in general […]
