Happy holidays! Hoping the season is gentle and good for you and your's.
December has been all about planting seeds. But with some extra on top!
BRING YOUR KIDS! MY GOB! That was a lot of Bring Your Kids! And thankfully so! We had three shows: one at the Bryant Lake Bowl (swoon) and two in St. Paul! So many thanks to Tyler and Matt at 825 Arts, Dan at Cadenza Music, and Jeremie and Jackson at the Bryant Lake Bowl for taking such care of us! Sweetness all around!
I did some time up in Anoka at the Anoka Middle School for the Arts, playing with 6th graders. Thanks to COMPAS, Jolanda, and every teacher there! Also thanks to Avant Garden and their wifi.
Also through COMPAS, I also started memoir class at Kensie - St. Anthony. We had to take a short break cuz middle school, and I'm excited to get back to them!
My teen improv group finished up our seven sessions and had their showcase on December 15th - - AND THEY DID SO GREAT!

Finally, I started a substack. No one asked for this. But if you'd like some thoughts on Improv or Art-Making (and so many lists), it's here.
I hope you and your's are well, and finding ways to take care of oneself and those dear. Happy New Year's, love. We can.
