What’s a good book?

Nick Cutter’s The Queen.

Body horror at its peak. And so many bugs.

Excited and proud to share this little local theater award for my one act I wrote: A Crooked Line.

So much credit goes to the cast, director, and a big thank you to Diva Theater for giving it a place to come to life!

Can’t wait to read it.

That album got me through college!

Don’t miss the Diva Theater production of Extremities later this month in Scranton, PA. If dark dramas are your thing—this will be the one to see. #extremities #divatheaterscranton #supportlocaltheatre

Sweetie Siv.

Goldfinches at our feeder yesterday.
Hope you have a good day.

What’s a good book?

Burn the Place by Lane (Iliana) Regan.

For foodies. For foragers. For fighters.

What’s a good book?

Nat Cassidy’s perimenopausal horror, Mary: An Awakening of Terror.

Trust me, even if a man wrote it—it’s truth. And terrifying.

Why isn’t there a holiday for middle age?

Thank you!

Didn’t write much at writers group today, but I still wrote notes.

Anything is progress right?
Even plotting?

On a new theatre journey, preparing to direct my first full-length show this fall.

My first research read was W.A. Gregory’s The Director. Got some good tips and was glad that a lot of the instincts I already had were reiterated here.

On to the next directing read!

Another Day at the Lab

Diva Theater

Honored to be playing Madeline Usher in this new adaptation of the Poe story, written to honor the late, super great Dominick Azzarelli. If you knew him, you’ll see it’s made for him 100%.

We open April 30 at Actors Circle in #ScrantonPA

I recently popped in to the Freakquels Podcast again. Rory, EJ, and I had a great time with John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China!

I’m also on episodes 37 (Ginger Snaps) and 94 (Slither).

Find them wherever you get your podcasts!

So good.

I keep missing #theatrethursday so here is #Sam instead.

I feel this.

Nothing like some Sunday rage baking.

Luckily, our friends’ twins have their birthday tomorrow, so the boys benefit!

Or you thought you were okay with what they used to mean but….you miscalculated, regrettably.

Don’t like when a favorite playlist takes you down a sad, dark path unexpectedly.

Did not want to go there tonight.

“We don’t really read literature. We only read ourselves, and each new book is another chapter.”

What’s a good book?

Jillian Keenan’s Sex with Shakespeare. The newest chapter for my life.

Just finished Mary Zimmerman’s Argonautika this morning.

I think I need to direct a play with puppets.

Not all puppets. But puppets.

What’s a good book?

Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe.

About The Troubles in the North of Ireland. Much to do with the Price sisters, Brendan Hughes, and Gerry Adams.

Fascinating read.

She is funny.
She is feisty.
She is friendly.
She is farty.

I enjoyed Dhalgren. Not like any other book I’ve encountered.

That one lengthy “True” in the Spandeau Ballet song of the same name.
