Tuesday, May 24, 2011 at 12:20PM RUINED is one of the recipients of the Elliot Norton Award which recognizes excellence in Boston Area theatre. It played a successful, as well as snowy, run at The Huntington Theatre earlier this year.
Congrats to the cast, crew, design and creative team! I have deep and treasured memories for that production and the process. I'm so proud to see RUINED being recognized by the Boston Theatre community.

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 11:01AM Today and tonight I will be assisting Mark Stuart and The Mark Stuart Dance Theatre for their presentation at Broadway by the Year: Musicals of 1982. MSDT will be performing three pieces. "Taking a Chance on Love" from BLUES IN THE NIGHT, "Summer in the City" from ROCK 'N ROLL! The First 5,000 Years, and "Macavity" from CATS.
There is a great line up of performers on the bill. (During a rehearsal yesterday I got hear Karen Akers, Kerry O'Malley, Kevin Early, Kenita Miller and Barbara Walsh go through some of their music. Amazing!!!!)
I hope to see you at Town Hall!
