As a frequent singer with Music By The Lake, of William’s Bay, Wisconsin, I was asked to sing in the National Wooden Boat Show. Five other singers joined me on stage for this show-choir style mini review. We performed “Mr. Touchdown”, “There’s No Business Like Show Business”, and “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da”.
Of course, these lyrics were changed to reflect the boat theme of the National Wooden Boat Show in Lake Geneva. The show was great fun and reminded me of my teenage years in the Marshall Putnum County Show Choir! It’s wonderful performing with talented artists!
I’m thrilled to invite you all to a my premier singing with the Peoria Symphony Orchestra this Friday, September 23rd at 7pm at the Peoria Civic Center. Go to www.peoriasymphony.org to purchase your tickets!
I’ll be singing “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “Crystal Lute”, “Memory”, “If I Loved You”, “People Will Say We’re In Love”, “One Hand, One Heart”, and “Somewhere”.
Once Broadway’s biggest hits played here first. Now, your Broadway favorites return home from the Great White Way. With guest celebrities from the Peoria and Chicago stage, the PSO brings you the music of Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Richard Rogers and more—with a little vaudeville thrown in for good measure.

I hope you like the video! We had fun making it!

As the Manager of Education and Outreach for Chicago Opera Theater, I’m pleased to announce that our students from Clinton Elementary School were featured in the following news story! We recently presented this year’s final performance of the kids’ opera “School Rules!” The 4th and 5th grade students wrote the music and lyrics and created props with the help of composer Adam Busch and artist Sonja Henderson, as well as the late great Mary Scruggs of Second City Theatre. Here is a link to a short Chicago TV news story on Clinton’s performance!
My Opera Company, Chicago Opera Play House announces it’s 2011-2012 Musical of the Year…. CINDERHOOD. A Mixed-up Turned Around Tale concerning Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. Chicago composer, Adam Busch wrote this musical and will be our pianist as well! We are looking forward to touring to schools, churches, and any other public venue that enjoys fun music! We’ll tour to the Peoria area in February, which is sponsored by the Peoria Symphony Orchestra.
Cinderhood is a humorous musical for the whole family. It shows what happens when the stories of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood get mixed-up and put together. The audience is treated to a wonderfully wacky, toe-tapping, seriously silly theatrical experience!
Contact me to book a performance of Cinderhood near you!
