Meet my new baby! This is
Lulu, a one
year old chihuahua/terrier mix that I adopted from
the San Francisco SPCA. (Looking at the picture, I
don't know what's hairier - Lulu or my arm!)

Friends,
Well, I've finally wrapped up a really fun run
of
Nunsense Jamboree - thanks to all of you
who came out to see it. It was a lot of fun,
and I look forward to donning my priest's robes
again (stay tuned for details on that!).
Right now, I'm getting ready to do my first
shows in the Midwest (you can read more about
that below), and I'm already thinking about
Christmas and my holiday shows!
But the biggest news for me this month is to
introduce you to the new lady in my life,
pictured at left. Lulu and I have been pretty
much inseparable since we met - she even came to
the closing performance of
Nunsense Jamboree, and stayed for the
cast party! I haven't had a dog since I was 18
years old (that's right - a LONG, LONG time
ago), and I am just so thrilled to have her in
my life. She's a great little traveler, so you
just might get a chance to meet her yourself
when I come your way.
As always, thanks for your love & support!

Milwaukee, here we come!
I'm so
excited about our upcoming gig in the Milwaukee
area! I've never been to Wisconsin, and I don't
know a soul within 500 miles of Milwaukee, so I was
a bit concerned about how ticket sales would be,
with 600 seats to fill. But when I spoke to the box
office last week, I was happily surprised to learn
that there were only 9 seats left! Thank you, Cream
City - I can't wait to meet you all!
Upcoming dates for the show (click on a show to
get full details):
October 17, 1:00pm, at the Sharon Lynne Wilson
Center for the Arts in Brookfield WI
March 27 & 28 (2008), at Austin Cabaret Theatre in
Austin, TX
We're adding more dates all the time so watch your
email for a show near you, or check out the
calendar on the website! |
It's beginning to
look a lot like...Christmas???
Yikes! Can you
believe that Christmas is only
a little over 80 days away?!
Yup, it's true - and even though Halloween is
still several weeks away, it's time for me to
start revving up my holiday shows for 2007!!
I'm very pleased to have been invited to close
out the 2007 season of the
Brownville (Nebraska) Concert Series
with a Christmas Gala Concert specially
conceived for the Brownville audience.
This year's season in Brownville has included
such jazz & cabaret luminaries as
Tom Michael &
Beckie Menzie, my good friend
Klea Blackhurst
along with Billy
Stritch, and the one and only "Queen of
Cabaret" herself,
Andrea
Marcovicci.
Along with my terrific musical director
Kelly Park,
I'm taking along a bunch of my musical buddies -
Terese Genecco,
Barry Lloyd,
and Alexandra
Kaprielien - to help bring a little
California Christmas to our friends in Nebraska.
I've had many requests to bring the holiday show
back to San Francisco this year, and all I'll
say right now is that we're working on something
really special...stay tuned for details. We're
also looking at several possibilities for the
East Coast, so watch your email for details!
And don't forget!
Holiday CD's make excellent stocking stuffers
(hint, hint!)
