MARSCH

 Happy whatever season this is! Things that started in January are in their 8 week-ish roll down...

 - I finished up 8 weeks with Episcopal Church Homes in St. Paul. 

 - I'm teaching an 8 week 301 at HUGE... We have two (?!) classes left? THEY ARE DREAMS!

 - I'm teaching a 10 week Intro to Improv at CTC... We have three (!?) classes left? They are IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. 

 - Two different shows are also wrapping up at HUGE. So much love for Give the Drummer Some and we get to Adorable at HUGE Wednesday one-last-time tomorrow. Both of these shows have been heart-filling in all the ways. So many thanks to the cast of GTDS for open, supportive, loving, roll around on the floors and so many thanks to Butch for making the loveliest scenes with the loveliest of trying lost souls. I'm so gd grateful. 

 - Also, Butch and I got to join James Rone on Saturday Feb. 24th for the sweetest of shows at Strike. James - - we're so grateful to be your friends. 

 - I made little promo videos and images for the two HUGE shows, and am unreasonably proud. 

And then MARCH kicks in!

 - I started with some 8th graders at Sunny Hollow Montessori in St. Paul, through COMPAS. They are ridiculous, and also learning about soul-rocking things. Like Portuguese. And the role of the American government in the mid-80s. 8TH GRADE IS DARK, y'all. We will do improv, maybe some sketch, and BE CONFUSING TO ALL. 

 - I'm still down at Ecumen in Mankato, and monthly at Amira in Forest Lake, both through COMPAS

 - Hear Her Stories returns! I get to curate and host this storytelling performance, produced by Mill City Museum. Saturday March 23rd, 7 p.m. show. Please join us!

 - Bring Your Kids rollllllllllls. Saturday March 9th at 4 p.m. at HUGE is our next one and it will be SO. SERIOUS*. 

March is for birthday parties (not mine, but some nuclear family members) and MUSIC. 

 - I'll be playing music at the Pay Gap Comedy Series at Malcolm Yards on Wednesday March 6th! 

 - ALBUM RELEASE VIDEO PARTY!! AHHHH! The exact opposite of monetizing your hobbies! My 'band' is Penny and the Bandits. The album is called Apocalypse Disco. The drummer is Josh Kaplan. The producer is Matt Patrick (of the Library!).. 

The party is on Wednesday March 27th at the Bryant Lake Bowl, 7 p.m.! It is an Album Release Video Party, as I've commissioned three different groups** to create music videos for three of my songs. I'm so excited. Live music by Andy Caush and Penny and the Bandits; videos by Felicia Cooper, Phantom Chorus, and Jeffrey Nolan + Hawken Paul. All hosted by the incredible MJ Matheson

Whewwww! Finally, ADORABLE TURNED 15! WE'RE SO OLD!

*This is a lie. It will be very silly. 

**March is also for video editing.
