I write fantasy and sci-fi, as well as poetry. I sing and play guitar. I draw and design sometimes. I act on stage.
Because @ijustwine.bsky.social asked so nicely…

“Grab a torch! Ve are going vampyre hunting!”

Our ability to tell a good story onstage and inhabit our wacky characters, is helped HUGELY by being able to trust our backstage to be right where we need them, communicate well, and get us back out there efficiently. #communitytheater #livetheater

Yes, we do our own stunts and Foley work! 🤣🤣

It ain’t easy playing two or more characters, when one is on stage, and the other is not. Like many of the jokes in Dracula: a Comedy of Terrors, this one is funny I think because it is so unexpected.

What does it take to pull off an exit from one side of the stage, a costume change, and an entrance from the opposite side?

A big breath, lots of practice, a savvy costumer, and a nimble backstage team!

Our last 5 shows are nearly sold out!! Tix @ Ojaiact.org

My first costume change in Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors takes about 45 seconds!

Not shown: applying lipstick and mascara, then quiet-running to the opposite side of backstage for my entrance.
