Interview on BroadwayWorld.com

I got a gig writing for the Portland theatre scene  for BroadwayWorld.com.  Pretty cool, huh?  I'm not going to do reviews; I'm not a critic, nor do I want to be.  So my articles will mainly focus on what's going on around town, and interviews with notable people in the theatre.

My first interview is already up on the site.  I talked with solo performer Eleanor O'Brien who is a delightful, delicious artist who is about to head out on a Fringe Festival tour with her show, Good Girls Guide:  Dominatrix for Dummies. The show is saucy, salacious, lovely and poignant all at once. So is Eleanor.  She is amazing, and if nothing else, I'm a huge fan of her courageousness on stage; not to mention a fan of the woman herself.

Hope you enjoy the interview.  It's a fun read.  Looking forward to writing much more about the wonders of the Portland Theatre Community.

If you have any specific requests as to who or what you want to read about, feel free to email me with your ideas!  Thanks and I'll see you at the theatre!

Back in October I had the great fortune to work with Eleanor O'Brien; a fantastic Portland actress and artist.  I came on board to help create a whimiscal piece of theatre for a local fundraising event.  It was a terrific experience, because not only did I get to work with Eleanor, the entire cast of seven other beautiful woman were delightful to work with as well.

Last night, the piece we originally created for the October fund-raiser was featured again at ScratchPDX. Scratch is an experimental performance space for acts of all kinds to try out their stuff in front of a lively and friendly audience.  Anything and everything including spoken word, performance art, improv, play readings and dance can be featured here.  The warm and welcoming people that host and volunteer for this event made the evening infinitely enjoyable.  There was such a strong sense of community sitting amongst the audience and it was so fun to be a part of this amusing and entertaining evening of theatre.

If you are in the Portland area, I strongly encourage you to check out ScratchPDX.  It runs the second Saturday of every month from October through May at Hipbone Studios. You never know what you might see and experience.  I'm hoping to have some additional work featured in the upcoming months...I'll keep you posted!

Hope everyone is enjoying December.  It's mighty cold up here in Portland, but my heart is full and warm.

Peace.
