My Interests

All things theatre: acting, directing, and the fine art of producing. I also like movies, books, spending time with my friends (theatre and non-theatre), and discovering the odd antique mall.

And how about the occasional PRODUCERS parody?

I'd like to meet:

MURDERERS - VINTAGE THEATRE

A REGIONAL PREMIERE!

OCTOBER 3 - NOvember 2, 2008

www.vintagetheatre.com

THE MAN WHO MARRIED HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW (Starring Rob Kramer) is Gerald Halverson’s confession of an elicit love and a plan to shelter five million dollars from the IRS. When Gerald’s mother-in-law, Spiffy, finds out she hasn’t got long to live, Gerald concocts a plan to keep her estate “in the family.” But when they move down to Florida to wait out Spiffy’s death sentence at Riddle Key, old friends and new faces threaten to spoil the scheme, and a surprise twist throws a wrench into Gerald’s plans unless he can pull off the perfect murder.

MARGARET FAYDLE COMES TO TOWN (Starring Betsy Grisard) is about Lucy Stickler, the long-suffering wife of Bob, who used to have a roving eye. Bob’s been on his best behavior for the past twenty years, but when Margaret Faydle, the still-glamorous femme fatale who stole him from Lucy when they were young, takes up residence at Riddle Key, Bob goes back into action. So Lucy constructs a diabolical plan to get rid of her cheating spouse and his AARP inamorata once and for all.

MATCH WITS WITH MINKA LUPINO (Starring in her limited engagement return to Denver, Mari Geasair) stars Minka Lupino, Riddle Key’s ever-sunny, ever-helpful receptionist. Minka is a fan of crime novels who becomes an avenging angel on a mission to rid the retirement community of its predators: the conniving heirs, the sticky-fingered health-care workers, the salesmen and contractors and Bible thumpers who prey upon helpless senior citizens. But when Minka comes face to face with her idol, a famous mystery novelist who has retired to Riddle Key, she knows she’s met her match. In the end, only one of them will survive.
