AACTFest11 – The Results are in…
For those of us here in Spokane there was quite a buzz around the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee attending the national community theatre competition in Rochester New York this year.

“For Good” – A message from the heart…
Here in Spokane we just had the Broadway tour of “Wicked” roll through. If you have never seen the production I would highly recommend it.

Dearly Departed at Lake City Playhouse
This isn’t a review it’s just a notice to let you all know that Dearly Departed starts this Friday (April 22nd) at the Lake City Playhouse.

Julian Beever is the pavement chalk Picasso. I was reminded of his incredible ability when I received an email that had a dozen or more of his masterpieces displayed for enjoyment.
