My Way of Life

Last night we discussed our characters, danced, and even sang the opening number, which is coincidentally titled Caged Dames . It’s always fun to hear how others interpret your work, especially when they’re dead on right, so I really had nothing to add to what our director, Scott Bradley had to say.

My Way of Life- Awards suck-sometimes

I just finished watching the Emmys and as usual I’m aggravated. My girl, Lisa Kudrow lost to Julia Louis Dreyfus.
