In Theater News...

As already noted, it's been years since I've posted to this blog. In my subhead, I threaten the possibility of theater news. Starting with the most recent:
- I begin rehearsals for LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES this weekend. I'm playing Madame de Rosemonde, Valmont's 84-year-old aunt.
- In 2014, I had the pleasure of playing Sister Aloysius Beauvier in DOUBT (at the same theater where I'll do LES LIAISONS). I followed that with Felicity Thomas in THE SHADOWBOX, a performance which many of my friends found very moving. I'll admit it - I was surprised. I spent the entire performance in a wheelchair and I wasn't sure if I was getting the point across, given that limitation.
- 2013 brought me Margaret Sullivan in DRACULA, which was a delightfully fun experience. So was my second outing as The Reverend Mother in NUNSENSE.
- 2012: Monica Breedlove in BAD SEED, as well as Mrs. Paroo in THE MUSIC MAN and Rose Zigowski in BLEACHER BUMS.
I look forward to LES LIAISONS, especially after an involuntary six months off!

Well, Then....

...After a brief absence of three years, I thought I'd stop in to see how my blog is doing. Popular as ever, I see. :-) So, have you gotten your flu shot, yet? I had quite the runaround getting my shot this year; I just got it yesterday, in fact. First, my employer canceled its free flu shot program because "your insurance will cover it." So I called my doctor. "We don't give flu shots in the office anymore. Get one at the drugstore." So I went to my drugstore. "Your insurance won't cover it here." Ofercryinoutloud...Finally, I went to Walgreens yesterday, which actually *contacted my insurance carrier and asked them*. Sure enough, it was covered at 100%. So, go to Walgreens. Get your flu shot. They'll also give you an "immunization assessment," which is why I'm going back today to get pneumonia and tetanus vaccines. Happy New Year!
