Back for the new season at Writers’ Theatre and the first show was Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, which I really dig. This play was my second experience with the alternate point of view genre (Grendel was the first – both in AP English).… Continue Reading “Writers’ Theatre – Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead”
As you probably know, I spent the entire summer at war with my skin. It would not stop breaking out. I expect the issue was a combination of stress, the mold in my house (that also accounted for the stress) and my SPF problem.… Continue Reading “Again with the Products”
