My little town, Winnsboro, is one of the few rural cultural arts districts in Texas, and one of the reasons we acquired that designation is the Fine Art Market that is held annually. Another reason is the vibrant Winnsboro Center for the Arts, where I am very active. In addition to being the Theatre Director, …
Short and sweet today. At least I hope you find it sweet. I always get a bit frantic the week before we open a show, and our original production of “Bonnie and Clyde in Winnsboro” opens this Friday. Even though I plan ahead and work for 6 to 8 weeks on rehearsals, there are always …
Good Monday morning. I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy with auditions for our fall production at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts. We are doing an original play, “Bonnie & Clyde in Winnsboro” written by a local actor, Randy Lindsey, who has given me the freedom to adapt the play and …
I made the mistake of watching national news the other day and was reminded why I am much better off not paying attention to all that. Did you hear about Cynthia Robinson, the Florida woman who sued R.J. Reynolds because her husband died from smoking-related illness? The jury gave her $23.6 billion in punitive damages. …

One of the other camp leaders said wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could schedule being sick. “Let’s see, I’m not doing anything from August first through the seventh.

I know I was going to take time off from blogging, but we had such a good time at the Nite of Comedy on Saturday at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts, and I wanted to share some of the pictures and videos. I love working with this talented group of Young Players, and we …
Nothing to rant about today. OMG, somebody take my temperature. (smile) Seriously, I think I have been so busy with productions at the local art center, I have not paid attention to the national news. I hardly pay attention to the local news, either. I never have the television on during the day, and only …
Heading into a busy week for me. Later today I will be visiting with some writers who want me to share my series “bible.” That term is most often used for television series, and a bible for screenwriters is a reference document that is used for information on a series’ characters, settings, and other elements. …
This is going to be a short post today as I have been busy the past few days and did not have time to read the news and find something to rant about, which may be a good thing for my blood pressure. Part of what has occupied my time is helping out with a …
First off, I just have to say a few words about the launch of the Winnsboro pictorial history book that I wrote with our local historian, Bill Jones. The official title is Images of America – Winnsboro, and it was published by Aradia publishing. Regular visitors to my blog have probably figured out that I …
