When Blue opened a couple days ago to a decent size house, I sat at the back of the theatre, watching the audience take in my play. A wave of incredible emotion swept through me as the last five years flashed before my eyes. I thought about when it all began and how Blue came […]

It’s late…very late…too late or depending how you look at it, very early – morning, that is and I need to get some rest. BLUE premieres tonight and the last couple days have been a whirlwind of activity. We moved into the theatre a couple days ago, had a dress rehearsal yesterday…or is that today….I’ve […]

Well here we are, the day before we move into the theatre and I’m anticipating great things. I’ve attended rehearsal the last two days and saw the cast come together.

I watched an entire run-through of the act and although it’s very raw and the actors are just learning their lines and blocking, there were definite moments where […]

Before talking about Blue, I want to thank a few people who made this website possible. First off, it would not be up and running if it wasn’t for the help and patience my sister Lisa has shown this past month. I am not a technical person, neither is she, but she has a knack […]
