Yesterday, I re-experienced the “Enchanted Forrest” through the eyes of a child. My friend, Randy, and I took his granddaughter, Hannah, there as a summer treat and we had a fantastic time. Like many men and women my age who have grown up in Salem, I have fond memories of visiting the “Enchanted Forrest” many […]

Tonight I had one of those totally unexpected really awesome nights. I called my friend Deborah and asked her if she wanted to go to a concert in the park with me. It was one of those times when we could both go so we were already excited. As I waited for her, my friend

Last night I drove out to my friend, Lorna’s, farm to deliver the pitchfork she lent to the theatre as a prop for “Comic Potential”. I had perfect timing as she was just getting ready to start her evening feeding chores. I first walked with her into her new barn to feed the male goats.

A few months into learning to tap dance, I was lying on a friend’s couch where I was house sitting and asking God, “Why tap dancing of all things?” The answer he gave me that day inspired this story. It’s one of those stories that is true in the deeper sense, the kind where it
I have been wondering how long it’s going to take to get the lines of Comic Potential out of my head. It seems when I see a show so much, lines come into my thoughts, make themselves at home, and stay for quite some time. I’m going to miss them. The cast I mean. Well,

Last night was the closing cast party for “Comic Potential” and I must say, it was one of my favorite cast parties I’ve attended. We went to Brian’s house and partied until the early hours of the morning. I didn’t even leave until 3:30. If any of you are wondering how much I had to
