As a lifelong Catholic, nuns hold a special place in my heart. Nuns who sing and dance, even better. Having seen Sister Act at Sunset Playhouse a couple of years ago, I can confidently say that theatrical productions involving said singing and dancing nuns are a guilty pleasure. Nunsense at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater is... Continue Reading →
Dad’s Season Tickets
Back in October, Tyler and I had the privilege to check out Dad's Season Tickets, written by our very own friend, Matt Zembrowski, at Northern Sky Theater in Fish Creek, Wisconsin. Matt has been a dear friend of mine since my days at Cardinal Stritch University where we met through the liturgical music ministry. Matt... Continue Reading →
Something’s Coming, Something Good
I can’t pinpoint the exact moment when I first fell in love with West Side Story but I remember being enamored with this Romeo and Juliet inspired love story from a young age. The Sharks and the Jets, Tony and Maria, Officer Krupke – I loved it all. When my friend Laura and I attended... Continue Reading →

Most of my conversations with Byron either in person or on the phone always somehow circle back to theater. I first saw Byron as Daddy Warbucks in Annie a few years ago and he did a phenomenal job...

I Fell Into a Burning Ring of Fire 🔥
As a kid I loved music. As an adult, I still do. From as young as I can remember, I remember my dad playing tons of CDs for me both at our house and in the car. I'm not sure I fully appreciated it back then but today I can confidently say that my dad... Continue Reading →
When We Met The Chinese Lady
Recently my friend Laura and I went to the Milwaukee Rep to check out The Chinese Lady. This show depicts the story of the first female Chinese immigrant from Beijing to America in 1834. I wasn’t sure what I would think about this production going into it but from the moment it began I was... Continue Reading →
Junk But Definitely Not Junky
For those of you who know me well, you know that finance and accounting were definitely my least favorite courses in college (right there with science...chemistry lab was the absolute worst EVER). The only way I was not late for my 7:50 AM accounting class was because the teacher would take 10 points off our... Continue Reading →
