Next Stop, Nightmare at ABC No Rio
Every night there are a seemingly infinite number of things to do in NYC. Of course, most of those events are hard to discover, or evaluate in advance. Lois and I go to Broadway shows on occasion (always with friends), but we don’t typically seek out plays. We spend most of our free […]

Wicked Still Rules
Having previously seen Wicked eight times, it generally takes an external event to get us to go again. Of course, we are constantly on the lookout for such events, so it’s not hard to get us to go. 🙂 A few weeks ago, friends of ours mentioned that seeing Wicked was high on […]

The celebration continued throughout this weekend, when 11 of our closest friends from Richmond and Birmingham came to spend the weekend. On Friday night, 13 of us went to see The Addams Family on Broadway. One of the leaders of […]

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at The Public Theater

We attend a lot of live music. Just this week, we saw Red Molly and The Nields at Joe’s Pub on Sunday. On Monday we attended a Livestrong Fundraiser. On Wednesday we saw Wicked (for the 8th time!). Last night was supposed to be downtime, to recharge the batteries for an even more […]

Wicked Again
Yes, last night, we were Wicked again (oh, I mean we saw Wicked again). 😉 It was our eighth time (yes, we love it that much). We were taken by our wonderful goddaughter and her wonderful husband, dinner included (more on that after a quick review of the show). Thanks! There was a […]

Richmond CenterStage
The inaugural meeting of the CenterStage Foundation (organized to raise money for this amazing project) was held on September 11th, 2001. In an unplanned tribute to that meeting, a black-tie affair unofficially opening the Carpenter Theater to donors and dignitaries, was held on September 11, 2009. The official grand opening of Richmond CenterStage […]

Forty Years or One Day?
This was a very big year for two of our dearest friends. In fact, the past 40 days alone have seen a number of milestones and celebrations. The wife just had a big birthday (had a zero at the end), their first grandchild turned one, the husband had a birthday, and to cap […]
