This last week, I had the opportunity to see The Woodsman at New World Stages and participate in a Q&A with some of the cast members after the show. When I walked into the theatre, I was transported to a magical place. The set was not on the stage, the theatre was the set. There…

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” – Charles Dickens, Great Expectations I hope the Dickens quote above will be reflected in the weather this month. I am ready for a taste of…
Hello Beautiful People, For those of you who don’t know, I have an Instagram addiction. (But hey, at least I can admit it – right?) Alas, I digress. Recently I connected with a wonderful creative organization/business on the Insta – Every Ella. Here’s their ‘about me’ – Every Ella is a lifestyle brand for girls…

We’ve made it to film five on our list. Whew. It’s been a long few days, filled with movie magic. The next bit of movie magic is The Revenant, starring Leo himself. As I sat in the theatre waiting for this movie to begin, I was musing on Leo’s run with the Academy Awards, and…
Dear Write Reader(s), I am sitting at the theater bar in between showings, drinking a seltzer water (scouts honor) and I am using my downtime to finish up these articles so you can read them all and enjoy the Academy Awards tomorrow night as you should. I just left Spotlight, and all I can think…
Onward and upward, Write Reader(s). We now move to the next film on our list of Best Picture nominees- The Big Short. When I saw the preview for this film, I knew it was on my list to see. I loved the trailer, filled with Christian Bale saying ridiculous things, and Ryan Gosling also saying…
