Of COURSE I wanted to play Lucy. And OF… Continue reading Progress Report: The Devil and Lady Midnight

I asked Carlos if he wanted to go the Electric Circus with me and a friend of ours: actor, audiobook narrator, and all-around goddess Carla Kissane. (She of “Shakespeare Cabaret” fame.) Before uttering an ENTHUSIASTIC YES, he asked, very naturally, what was an Electric Circus? So I went to the Arts on Site webpage and I read him… Continue reading A Day in the City, Ending in an Electric Circus
