Adventures of a Girl from MKE
My 2020 started off with a bang...literally. On January 11, I slipped and fell on black ice, broke my wrist and managed a minor fracture and sprain of my elbow as well. I wish the story were more glamourous than that, but sadly it's not. So, I've had to take a minor hiatus from the... Continue Reading →
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.

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.

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...

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 →
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 →
