Hello Dolly!Favorite Show:
I've given this a lot of thought. I think the most delighted I've ever been watching a show was Peter and the Starcatcher at Brelby in Glendale Arizona in 2017.Favorite Stories:
- BWW Interview: Alexis Green of SEVEN GUITARS at BTT - Alexis was so generous with her responses to my questions and it was a delightful experience all around.
- BWW Interview: BARDS AND BEASTS at Brelby Productions - John Perovich is such a fine person, a great writer and terrific theatre artist. He has become an institution in Arizona.
- BWW Interview: Alanna Kalbfleisch Makes Theater Happen - Alanna is gobsmackingly talented and is an interesting and forthcoming interviewee. She has gone on to have a brilliant career, but this was back when she was doing community theatre in Arizona, so it's a treasure.
BWW Reviews: Magical Arizona Onstage Productions' FOREVER PLAID

January 6, 2014
Arizona Onstage Productions' FOREVER PLAID is a magical, delicious pastiche, a banana split with extra hot fudge, nuts and cherries on top. It is a thinly-plotted revue of songs from the day when men's four part harmony ruled the airwaves and halls from grange to Carnegie.

BWW Reviews: Arizona Rose Theatre's RAINMAKER

'I tried to tell a simple story about droughts that happen to people, and about faith. I tried to say that belief in a forked stick is sweet in an eight-year-old but a grownup has to find his magic in the rites of daily living. I tried to protest that the dreamers who are fugitive from the world have too long pretended that they alone know what is beautiful; that there's beauty for those who stick around and have a good look at things. That there is beauty in reality, beauty in the balances of nature, no matter how brutal the imbalances; beauty in the togetherness of people which, sadly, must sometimes be measured by loneliness; beauty in seeing the fact and naming it the fact.' -- N. Richard Nash

I'm an Arizona native - born in a mining town nestled in the high desert hills northeast of Tucson. Though I came of age and went to drama school in Toronto Canada, I returned to Arizona to graduate high school and start out in a college theatre program here and to do some shows in Phoenix and Tucson. I've been away nearly three decades, and now I'm back and - Wow. What a difference thirty years makes.

Is there a God? Is the notion of a Creator a pathetic delusion of desperate hominids?
