• It's May and I'm back in the saddle. I've uploaded a couple of new pictures in the Gallery. I rearranged the furniture again though so the new pics of digital organ rig are a little obsolete.

• Currently I am working on three shows with Happenstance Theater:

"Vaudeville's Late Bloomers with Diz & Izzy Aster" where I will make my debut as Shorty McHansen, the patient accompanist. Will Shorty finally learn to play the piano? Will he/she fall in love with Diz? Will Izzy have another episode? Show date is July 1st in Greenbelt, MD.

"Cabaret Macabre III" Another evening of Edward Gorey inspired drama and music and new guest artists. Late October to early November 2012, Round House Theater Silver Spring, MD.

"Vanitas" Sabrina as The Queen, Mark as The Fool, and Karen as The Musician explore life and death and art and a bunch of other deep stuff. It will be funny too.

• I am thrilled and honored to be the recipient of a 2012 Creation Grant from the Vermont Arts Council to compose music for "Vanitas", a new show with Happenstance Theater. The premiere will take place in early 2013.
