Random thoughts of a very clumsy person
Another year another birthday, and what has it had to offer? It's been a year full of changes and challenges. Less writing and blogging, persistent injuries and sensitivity to sound have been some of the struggles. On the bright side, work at the Theatre is going well, there's been some travel and family and friends are more important than ever. Can't wait to see what the next season brings!
It's been a while since my last blog post, but hey, rehearsals took over my life for a while and I couldn't be happier about that! The Klutz in me hasn't died however! Take a look at my 'Chicago' journey...

As we’ve already established, I celebrated my birthday this week (and the 10th survival anniversary, for those of you who haven’t read about that yet).

A 10th anniversary reflection Tomorrow’s my birthday. But this birthday is a little more special as I’m also celebrating the 10th anniversary from when I did something incredibly stupid and ended up spending a birthday in hospital. I’m posting this today because the incident I’m going to talk about actually happened exactly 10 years ago... Continue Reading →
As a little girl The Little Mermaid was my number one movie and the VHS tape was always on repeat. I used to sing all the songs but close my eyes whenever Ursula came on screen. Of course now I dream of playing that role and belting ‘Poor Unfortunate Souls’ on stage, but I digress.... Continue Reading →
