Come see Ragtime ? The Musical, in Concert! It’s tonight, at Marblehead Middle School. This show is fantastic, and even though we’re not doing the show with a full set, we have all of our leads in costumes, some excellent props, and a full orchestra! The chorus is awesome (and huge!), and many of our leads are equity.
I cannot believe how absolutely lucky I am to be a part of this. Please come! It’s a fundraiser for HAWC, so your money will be even better spent.
As seen on a bumper sticker, wouldn’t it be great if schools had all the money they needed, and the DoD had to have bake sales…

This past year I have been helping out at GHS with the drama club as their Tech Director. While the first few months were a little tough, I couldn’t be prouder of the work that they have done. They are currently working on Little Shop of Horrors, which goes up May 11th-13th.
In the past few years the program has been in a decline and this year Kim Trigilio stepped up as the club adviser and we have been trying to rebuild the program. As many of you know, there have been huge budget cuts in the city. Part of way was cut was all the funding for the drama club and the productions. The club relies entirely on fundraising to produce the shows and we are in desperate need of funds. To help in fundraising to put on the show, we started a ChipIn page. I know times are tough for many of you, but if any of you could spare some money I know the kids would appreciate it.
Thank you, and I apologize for the mass email.

It’s Friday evening. Vin’s at his department Christmas party (no spouses, not that I’d go anyway) and I’m at home listening to holiday music! I’m supposed to be working on my cards or my new website, but so far this evening, I’ve had dinner and done 1 and 1/2 sudoku puzzles.
I have really great holiday music. In addition to the Time-Life Treasuries (who doesn’t have them!?), I have “Best Carols 100” which has some awesome choral work on it; “Broadway’s Carols for a Cure Vol. 12” from 2010 (one day, I shall get them all!), The “Christmas Revels: In Celebration of the Winter Solstice” (which a co-worker gave me and I love!), and “Karolju: Christmas Music” (probably my favorite holiday CD), which includes composers Christopher Rouse, Witold Lutoslawski and Joaquin Rodrigo. I also have albums by various singers, such as Josh Groban, Amy Grant, Sarah Brightman, Celtic Women, and Jingle Dogs (Dot’s favorite)! Then there is all the instrumental music, such as The Nutcracker, brass groups, jazz groups, and a really pretty album “A Christmas In The King’s Court” which features Celtic harp and pan flute. Throw in some Vince Guaraldi and Peanuts gang, and that is one incredible holiday mix of music!
