BWW Reviews: Magical Arizona Onstage Productions' FOREVER PLAIDJanuary 6, 2014Arizona Onstage Productions' FOREVER PLAID is a magical, delicious pastiche, a banana split with extra hot fudge, nuts and cherries on top. It is a thinly-plotted revue of songs from the day when men's four part harmony ruled the airwaves and halls from grange to Carnegie.
BWW Reviews: Arizona Rose Theatre's RAINMAKERFebruary 4, 2013'I tried to tell a simple story about droughts that happen to people, and about faith. I tried to say that belief in a forked stick is sweet in an eight-year-old but a grownup has to find his magic in the rites of daily living. I tried to protest that the dreamers who are fugitive from the world have too long pretended that they alone know what is beautiful; that there's beauty for those who stick around and have a good look at things. That there is beauty in reality, beauty in the balances of nature, no matter how brutal the imbalances; beauty in the togetherness of people which, sadly, must sometimes be measured by loneliness; beauty in seeing the fact and naming it the fact.' -- N. Richard Nash
Theatre Sizzles in the Sonoran DesertJanuary 17, 2013I'm an Arizona native - born in a mining town nestled in the high desert hills northeast of Tucson.

I've been away nearly three decades, and now I'm back and - Wow. What a difference thirty years makes.
