Rissa is at the piano. Surreptitiously, I watch from the kitchen. She sings as she plays Adele’s Someone Like You – she’s been working out the chords with David. How she can sing and play at the same time mystifies me. Her lovely soprano drifts across the room, she has perfect piano posture – she…

Bad Rhymes at Bed Time
In pre-production for PETER PAN this weekend, so please enjoy this from earlier in the summer… Sometime in the last couple of years Rissa and I started cracking each other’s toes. It’s my friend Shawn’s fault. He cracked my toes while we were in a play together (not actually during the play but rather while…
