Canadian Plays Rock

Took part last night in the 18th annual Canadian Play Festival put on by the Arts Huron Regional Arts Program. It was great! One school, six student directed plays, all Canadian. Of mine they did TUNA FISH EULOGY. The director, Michael Halfin is very adamant on that - he told me they have over 500 [...]

Florida Part Two

Next, I trucked from the east side of the state to the west side. (Through a wicked rain storm. I sat in my hotel room watching Tornado Watches on the tv before heading out and trying to determine if I was going to get caught in some Wizard of Oz action. Luckily not so much.)
