I have a bit of an addiction to Smule Sing! There should be a meeting for this, but then what can one do when she always has a song in her head or her heart, and wants to share it with the world? For those who are maybe in complete ignorance on what I am…

“Theatres are curious places, magician’s trick-boxes where the golden memories of dramatic triumphs linger like nostalgic ghosts, and where the unexplainable, the fantastic, the tragic, the comic and the absurd are routine occurrences on and off the stage. Murders, mayhem, political intrigue, lucrative business, secret assignations, and of course, dinner.” ― E.A. Bucchianeri, Brushstrokes of a Gadfly. In…

“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.” ― Oscar Wilde Like so many places that we walk through, theatre has its own set of rules, it’s own etiquette.…

This week has been a little frustrating with me coming down with a flu. It has rendered me without a voice and with a lot of discomfort. Also has resulted in missing rehearsals and canceling music lessons for the week. Usually when I feel unwell, I can usually ‘knock it on head’, with 3 levels…
