Hi Friends! 

Hope August is treating you well… Just a quick note to let you know we've added TWO SHOWS to the Summer 2023 schedule – CS in-the-round in Manhattan on August 15th, plus NO FUSS AND FEATHERS in Brooklyn…

“Summertime and the living is easy…”

Easy? I imagine some of us might have a bone to pick with DuBose Heyward over that particular lyrical choice, but hey, perhaps it's aspirational…

Or maybe it's just a reminder to linger a…

Hello, friends ~

June is tapping at my door, and I'm not ready yet! Seems she's got a big Midwestern adventure planned for me…

But before that happens, I'm heading to the Jersey shore on Saturday, June 3rd, to join…

Hello, friends! 

Ohmygoodness, April is half over already and I'm just now checking in… 

March was an absolute whirlwind, what with a deliciously fun run of shows with NO FUSS AND FEATHERS, a principal role in a short film…

Hello, friends! 

February flew by so fast I barely had time to appreciate the fact that, save a few sub-zero days at the top of the month, it was far less brutal than your typical New York City February. So…

Perhaps a course in astrophysics or metaphysics or just some vigorous physical activity will help…

And just like that, Summer is nearly over...

Every year, without fail, I marvel at how quickly it slips away. How almost imperceptibly the barest hint of chill slips into the early mornings and late evenings even as the days…

Regional folk music conferences like SERFA are essentially a…

Here in Brooklyn, crocuses and daffodils are waking up under sidewalk trees and in window boxes, tiny dogs are ditching their metallic down coats (I kid you not) and scampering about in the buff, so I, too, am peeking out…

Helloooooooo in there... It's been a minute, hasn't it?

A chilly, dark, frightening minute that might actually have been a year, a decade, a century. It's really hard to say. I don't know about you, but time moves just a…
