Sometimes I Like The Theatre…
Because I am always talking about how much I hate theatre (odd for a theatre professor and director, I know), I thought I would shake it up and talk about some theatre stuff I’m REALLY excited about. #1: That’s Weird, Abuelita. I took my three-year-old to see this yesterday and we both had a great [...]
Best Hair Day Ever
Amores, I’m sure I have many good qualities. I know a lot of knock-knock jokes, for example. And I laugh all of the time at the stupidest things (Adam Sandler movies or the aforementioned knock-knock jokes).

Stay in the Moment, Paz!
Auditions for one of my fall shows start tonight. That’s right… ONE of my fall shows.
