Hi Kids After spending 13 hours on a bus on Thurs. I finally made it home (thanks Laura, for picking me up). I suppose in some way, that was a taste of what it might be like once the tour is on for real, I hope it'll be a tad more comfortable than that. I'm guessing there won't be a ten year old boy in front of me trying to violently recline his seat directly into my kneecaps...the little #**&&^@%! But I know we'll have some long rides on the bus. We...

Hi Kids! Well...we're all done with tech and our preview performances! Last night was our first performance in front of a paying audience, and it went very, very well.

You know the weather last night was snowy and icy and generally crappy, so we weren't expecting a very large crowd. But we had this large group of high schoolers that came all the ...

Hi Kids! Sorry I haven't written anything in a few days, we've been going thru 12 hour a day tech reheasals and I haven't had access to a computer for any longer than to check my e-mail.

We all feel like we've been here two months and it hasn't been a week yet. But I'm sure when ...

Hi Kids! Well...My stay in New York has come to an end...pity..I'm going to miss the city. I've had a great time and I wish I could have done so much more. Maybe circumstances will be different the next time. We had a solid run-thru of the show on Monday. Still some work to do on my part, for sure. I still feel like I haven't quite found the character yet, but it's getting there. We had a small audience of invited people to see this last New York rehearsal befo...

Hi Kids! I know I'm going to start sounding like a broken record but really....I LOVE NYC!!! It's all here, the good and the bad, the crowds and yes, even the solitude. Where else can you stand on a street corner and hear conversations in a half a dozen languages? I love to walk the streets and take in the vista of the rows and rows of skyscrapers. And watch the people go about their routines of getting to work in the morning. It's a side of New York that, if ...
