A very interesting talk from the writer of Eat, Pray, Love. I know artistry doesn't need to lead to anguish, but society certainly does hold on to that impression. I refuse to believe that the best years of our lives are over with once we've done one piece of brilliant work.
In talking about the creative mystery and ancient societies, I'm reminded of God as a Great Creator, and our creativity as a gift back to God. (a la Julia Cameron). I'm also reminded of the Holy Spirit, and am meditating more on how that relationship works in the middle of my work.

Can't believe I've been so lax in posting my reviews, but working on several musical projects has taken precedence, as has the house sale - hopefully Mom and Dad will be moving back into the village.
My biggest musical projects are teaching musical theater workshop at SUNY Oswego this fall - really looking forward to that, and to seeing what the students do at the auditions.
September 23rd sees me at the Everson with the amazing Rebecca Horning performing an all-French recital for Civic Morning Musicals' recital series connected with the Turner to Cezanne exhibit that runs through January. Am really looking forward to this!

Oswego County Today� Lead Story � Community Remembers Rosemary Nesbitt
My deepest sympathies go out to all who knew Rosemary Nesbitt. Thanks to Mrs. Nesbitt, I experienced not only mainstage productions, but also some great children's theater through the Baldwinsville Theater Guild - where I was later cast in my first leading role (Eliza in My Fair Lady). Without her, I probably never would have gone into theater in the first place.
She was also a good friend to my grandparents, and an amazing performer in her own right. I loved hearing her speak. The last time I heard her do so was at "Tales of the Haunted Port" at the Marine Museum in Oswego, NY - in the middle of a captivated audience. Of course.
You will be missed, but never forgotten.
