SHE JUST MAKES MY BLOOD BOIL

I know I am behind on celebrity apprentice but I just cant stand her! The things she said on the carriage ride episode were just uncalled for. She proved to America that she has NO CLASS... we knew it and she proved it!!

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Another Good Joke From Mom

Three men from Texas were sitting together one day bragging about how they had given their new wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Illinois and had told her that she was going to have to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Michigan. He had given his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and there was a huge dinner on the table.

The third man had married a girl from IDAHO. He told her that her duties were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little bit out of his left eye, enough to fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

Back to DC and Back to Work!!

Life after Glory Days... is sad because it was such a special project. Only hours after the show closed I got on a plane to visit Oklahoma for a week. I got to spend a lot of time with Mom, Dad and Taren as well as spending time with my future brother-in-law, Jordan, and his daughter, Morgan. Jordan is a really terrific guy and Morgan is very sweet. I went with Jordan to pick her up on Friday and after being reminded who I am (she is 7 and its been a year and a half since she has seen me) she was happy to have me around. Friday night Uncle Jess to Morgan to see Hannah Montana in 3-D (Its a filmed version of the concert... I don't have the $2000 to win tickets on eBay for the concert!). We had a good time.

Now I am babysitting Karen and Kevin for the next two weeks and getting ready for a few up coming gigs.

Wednesday with Karen and Kevin

On Wednesday I got to spend some quality time with Karen and Kevin. We watched movies and played for a few hours while Mommy was at work.

Here are a few pics. The first two show how Kevin watched almost all of Peter Pan and the third picture was taken by Kevin!!

Rest in Peace

Signature Theatre Retrospective Part Three

Fallen From Proust

World premieres are what I live for. There is nothing like working on a new play and this was a great experience. It was a great show with a great cast and I miss them dearly.

Pacific Overtures

Recently I set one of my career goals: to have done every Sondheim. So far I have five under my belt. Pacific was the last Sondheim I was able to do and it was a great experience. It was a cast of all old friends and with lighting by Mark Lanks there was no doubt that it would be a challenge to call and fun.

Signature Retrospective Part Two

The Blue Room

I ran into Rick Holmes when I was in New York for Happy Days. He is now on Broadway in Spamalot. That party at his place was AWESOME... Skinny dipping... it was a good time!

One Red Flower

There were manythings about this play that made it special. For one thing it was a new musical. If you have never been a part of a new musical before you are missing out! It is what I live for. I LOVE IT!! It was also a blast to call. There were over 400 cues between LX, Sound and Projections. Another special thing was the involvement of Debbie Brudno. Her husband was a Vietnam POW with an amazing story. The cup you see in the picture below is the acutal cup that Alan had in the POW camp. The things I learned on this show changed my life forever.

Signature Retrospective Part One

With a little less than two weeks of Glory Days left I thought I would stop and look back at my past shows at Signature.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum

This was my third production of Forum. This time I was the Equity Assistant Stage Manager. This was a great chance to work with some really great friends of mine. This was a show of happiness and sadness. Jenny and I got married the week before tech and during the run Steve and Matts house burned.

Elegies: A Song Cycle

This was a very special show. It was an amazing cast and creative team paired with great material. It was such a beautiful show. This is one of the shows I miss.

Kobe LOVES Glory Days!!
