Abbie Hoffman Festival

Last weekend I performed two new works at the Abbie Hoffman Festival written by local play write: Dawn LaBuy-Brockett. The two shorts were called: "The Shoe" and "The Salmon Secret". Both plays dealt with relationships and the different problems couples encounter. I performed each two person show with a very talented girl, Diana De Luna. The shows were great and it was an awesome experience!!!

Summer Teaching at Metropolis Performing Arts Center

I am wrapping up a 10 week teaching gig at Metropolis Performing Arts Centre in Arlington Heights, IL. Currently, I teach six 8-10 year old little girls. Our last class will be August 18th, resulting in a performance of two songs from the Broadway Musical "Annie", and one song from the Broadway Musical "The Sound of Music". The girls are really great and I have had tons of fun working with them! This is my second year teaching with Metropolis. Last year I co-taught a musical theatre intensive class based around the musical "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown". I also taught dance intensive classes for their summer music camp series of "The Secret Garden" and this years "The Wiz".
