See This! Valuable Actor Perspectives on Rare Sondheim Musical, Merrily We Roll Along
I don’t think there was a time in my life when I didn’t know what Merrily We Roll Along was, unlike most people. Not a Day Goes By when we don’t listen to, hum, or sing all or part of the soundtrack.

Music for Winter Reflection
Winter. It is a time, at the turning of the year, for looking back, and looking forward. It is a time for silence and solitude, for gathering in community and sharing with friends, as well.
Harsh weather sometimes comes along; at this writing, harsh political and social situations abound. Yet there is, there can be, hope. That may be found in the solitude and in the community the turning of the year invites.

Lost Railway Journeys: New Zealand's Otago Central Railway
Note: This is an excerpt about New Zealand's Otago Central Railway from a fantastic new book by Anthony Lambert, called Lost Railways from Around the World. We love it so!

On the Road and Online: Roads From the Ashes: An Odyssey in Real Life on the Virtual Frontier, 20th Anniversary Edition
What a difference twenty years makes. When an intuitive, resourceful, creative couple lost everything in the devastating California wildfires of '93, they didn't wallow. They hit the road. Along the way, a literal journey became a metaphorical journey and they found freedom devoid of material items. A motorhome became their chariot, and the then-new Internet became their connection to finding their future.
Today, twenty years later, Megan Edwards'...
