In the last few weeks, I have made a return (somewhat) to doing theater-y kinds of things after not having been onstage in well over three years.<\/p>\n

After 30-plus years at the helm, the Executive Director of the local theater is retiring. A couple of weekends ago, there was an event at the theater to celebrate his time there. Part of the event was a retrospective of his time in charge and I was asked to sing a duet from one of his favorite shows he directed (I was in the original production). I must say that it did feel really weird to sing that song while holding a microphone. I’m only used that on karaoke night in the local bar<\/strong><\/a>. Ha, ha.<\/p>\n

\nHere’s the group of fine folks that spoke and performed that evening.<\/p>\n

And, I am currently in rehearsal for the short play Tooth or Dare<\/em> that’s part of The Magnetic Theatre<\/strong><\/a>‘s 3rd Annual One Act Play Festival<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 It’s been fun to rehearse so far and I had forgotten how awesome the discovery process is during rehearsals. Plus, it’s been pretty light duty (as far as a time commitment) since our piece runs about ten minutes. Only three more rehearsals over the next two weeks and we are up and running. Tooth or Dare<\/em> is part of the Schedule B performances if you are in the area and are inclined to come support live theater.<\/p>\n
