A lot has happened since last we checked in! Our fundraising campaign is over 75% complete, we’re building our production team, and the most exciting thing of all: our first day of rehearsals is only two days away. Read more…

I mean metaphorical baby pictures, not real ones like this one of me rocking a red tracksuit.
You know when your mom pulls out your baby pictures and shows them to your friends? How proud she is, but also how dumb you used to look and act? And how embarrassing the whole thing is?
That’s what this’ll be like, except instead of baby pictures, it’s old (and brand new!) music from the show, and instead of my mom, it’s me. Read more…

Recently, I sat down with Jenny Paul and Lynn Spector to talk about what it means to be a self-produced artist. Jenny comes from the theatre world and is currently an actor and producer on That Reminds Me… (www.ThatRemindsMeTheSeries.com), a new web sitcom coming
