john & jen – Possible one-night event in NYC. I’ll update ASAP.
Peepshow in Las Vegas – Enters its fifth year in March. Crazy successful! A new number went in the show in December, 2012. We like to keep updating it.
A Little Princess – Music Theater International (MTI) is licensing the show. It’s available for YOU to produce! Also, there’s a strong possibility of future commercial life. Stay tuned!
2 possible new projects I hope to start in 2013. Mum’s the word for now. But I’ll announce as soon as I can.
PERSONAL NEWS
Seminary: Graduation is June 8, 2013. I may graduate if I stop writing this update and get back to my homework! I will miss being in school so in September, 2013 I’m beginning Spanish language immersion classes so I can become fluent. I took four years of Spanish in high school – just enough to be frustrated every time I try to actually speak!
Tough Mudder the second: Well, I’d hoped to do my second Tough Mudder in February but have been sidelined from running since August. Hoping I can get to one by the summer or, at least, do a sprint triathlon. Long-range goal: Do a 1/2 Iron Man in 2015 when I’m 50!
The incredible Judith Clurman pulled together a choral cycle called “Sing Out, Mr. President” that was recorded and included on her CD “Celebrating The American Spirit”. The text comes from US presidents through the ages. I wrote the
Woodrow Wilson piece called “I Believe in Democracy”. See this great article on Huffington Post about the cycle.
