Apologies - I'm aware that it's been about a month since this show closed, but due to life/work/health issues I wasn't able to get things written down as quickly as I would have liked. At this point, I'm writing these stories for my own amusement rather than to keep people informed of current events, but … Continue reading Quilters, part 2 – Rehearsals

Quilters, part 1 (Beginnings)
All right folks, as promised, this is the first in a series of posts about my recent theater adventure! I could tell countless stories, but to keep it short and sweet, I've managed to trim it down to four posts. I did my best to shorten it, but it just didn't work out, there was … Continue reading Quilters, part 1 (Beginnings)

Friendship Lost, part 1
Once upon a time there was a group of girls who were the best of friends. These young ladies all went to the same church and did everything together. They were practically sisters, especially as all but one had no actual biological sisters, just brothers. (Nothing against brothers, it's just different, that's all).
