Hello. I am not Joe Pera. But I am dressed up like him for Halloween. While some may choose their costume with the intention to play a trick on others & provide a good-natured fright, I have chosen to be a hard-working yet humble middle school choir teacher. Now that is a treat everyone can enjoy.

I hate that my job has prevented me from reading plays for the past two years. I'm going to read 150 plays if I get a sabbatical just to catch up.
