My Way of Life

So, what exactly is the etiquette when you run into somebody you really have nothing to say to anymore? This happened to me this past Sunday at a local coffee shop. Well, they were there and I was there and we clearly saw each other. I was meeting Scott Bradley the Caged Dames director and [...]

Kudos to ‘retired’ stage actress and ensemble member Merrie Greenfield for getting listed in New City’s Top 5 for 2006 in the actress category for Invasion of the Minnesota Normals. Here’s the link. Keep scrolling down and you’ll find it. New City has about the worse website ever and they don’t bother to attend our [...]
