So thrilled to learn that an eBook I wrote with mastermind illustrator Carolyn Scott has won a Parent's Choice Award as a mobile app for kids aged 9-12. Such joy to see hard work rewarded. Check out a taste of the book at Solutionaries.org.

Just completed a project that makes my spirit sing. Could it be that writing produced on a lark sometimes soars the highest?

Thank You Vintage Theatre and the Amazing Cast of Unmarried in America

My amazing daughter thought to take this picture outside the theatre when we attended opening night. The cast continues to astonish me with their committed, real, beautiful portrayals. Thank you to Vintage Theatre, the entire cast and crew, and especially to Craig Bond and Wendy Moore!

Vintage Theatre Gala for their 2015 Season

Vintage Theatre Gala

Thank You for Taking the Stage for Love and Marriage!

Unmarried in America, directed by Wendy Moore, will open May 8 and run through June 21 at Vintage Theatre in Aurora. The atmosphere of the 2015 season launch at Vintage Theatre was electrifying. I'm thrilled to partner with them and to see this piece take a solo flight (sans playwright). Please come and support the theatre. They are a talented, dedicated and feisty bunch. Can't wait to see the show they produce.

Several people came up to me during the soiree part of the evening with stories to share. My favorite part of this journey has been the AMAZING people I have met and continue to meet. As my mother told me: Love always wins. I see it over and over again.

Auditions for "Unmarried in America" at Vintage Theatre Starting Soon

This post is a great big thank-you to everyone who has been a part of "Unmarried in America" in any way. Auditions are coming up soon at Vintage Theatre for a 23-show run. SO excited, and I couldn't have done it without a "village" of talented theatre pros. Gratitude ABOUNDS.

Thank you to CCTC (the Colorado Community Theatre Coalition) for inviting the cast and crew of "Unmarried in America" to Denver to present an encore performance of the competition cutting ( presented at the AACT event in IN, where it secured four awards). Every actor in this piece, and every actor who has nudged it along its path, has been absolutely phenomenal to watch. The dedication, the skill, and the heart of these people is phenomenal (and I don't use the word lightly). I've always thought that theatre is one of the best "anti-bullying" training grounds, because actors (and directors, and set and tech designers, and audience members) are asked to identify with people who think and act differently than they would. They are asked to empathize and to motivate every action and word (and to view every action and word) through the passionate gaze of another. It's an amazing and beautiful craft to watch. If you happen to be headed to Denver this Friday, or if you have friends in Denver, please invite them to join us at the Denver Center Theatre Academy's performance space, in the Robert and Judi Newman Center for Theatre Education (the theatre in the old tramway building). Tickets are $10 and are available at the door. The performance begins at 2 p.m. Hope to see you there.
