Tomorrow I am on a plane to Birmingham Alabama
to compete in the 60th annual SETC as Arnolphe in
Moliere's The School for Wives.

The School for Wives has been with me, inside of me for two years now. The play and
its actors have changed in that time. We have grown older, hopefully wiser, but the play
has taken on a life of it's own.

I am proud of my "School" family, my good friends -- three I have known for over a decade.
This journey has weaved itself around our lives and two seasons at our theatre. It has affected
our families, our work, our souls. It will always be a part of me. Win or not, Murray
Chase has outdone himself, and that is not easy to do.  I am so proud to know him and this
beautiful company of actors, honored to share the stage with them through pain, tears and hope.

As representatives of our much loved Venice Theatre we will do our best to be more
than we think we can be -- give me one moment in time.

My love and admiration to Murray, Candace, Neil, Cathy, Amber, Scott, Dorian and Mr. Credeur

Applause to Bill, Barry, Sharon, Megan, our tireless crew.

And lastly (I speak for the entire company) a debut to Sandi Henderson, we will never be able to repay.

VENICE THEATRE ROCKS!

Enjoy!!
