From the Bookshelf: The Hermits of Big Sur, by Paula Huston
Here in the States (USA), we like to observe milestones: 50, 100, 150, 200 year on. The recorded history of European settlement is a relatively short period compared to the development of cultures in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, … Continue reading
From the Bookshelf: Resurrection Hope, by Kelly Brown Douglas
I am in awe of cathedrals. May that be on an architectural level, entering a building that has existed for hundreds if not a thousand years. May that be on an artistic level, to stroll through the chapels and nave … Continue reading

Theatre Review: Things I Know to Be True
For years, I have pitched the idea that knowledge and beliefs are two different thought processes. The former deals with facts and data. The later with assumptions. Each leads to a different type of truth. Knowledge is about truths that … Continue reading
Theatre Review: She Loves Me
Here we go again. A revival of a musical (She Loves Me, 1963) predated by two movies (Shop Around the Corner, 1939 and The Good Old Summer Time, 1949) and followed by another movie (You’ve Got Mail, 1998). With so … Continue reading

My regular readers know that I’m usually a bit skeptical about transferring a story from one medium, such as a novel or movie, to the stage. In the past, I did my research by reading the novel or watching the … Continue reading
Theatre Review: The Odd Couple
Kids are cruel. Especially boys. At least, when I was growing up in the 1960’s. An easy taunt was to discover someone’s middle name, usually something perceived at quirky, and call the boy by that name. ”Oscar” is actually my … Continue reading
Theatre Review: Daphne’s Dive
Do we speak aloud our history? Or, do we remain silent? Do we acknowledge our traumas? Or, do we avoid our ACE’s (adverse childhood experiences)? Do we challenge our evil? Or, do we avoid confrontation? Do we confine ourselves to … Continue reading
From the Bookshelf: Out of Time, by Laurie Graves
I have not been very good about time, when it come to reading Laurie Graves’ third youth novel in her Great Library Series, “Out of Time”. I ordered mine (singed by the author!!!!) when the publication came out…. oooooh, a … Continue reading
Theatre Review(s): The Post-Covid Season
In 1592 the plague spread across the City of London. Among other measures the leaders took to limit the spread of the plague was to close the theatres. Some acting troupes may have taken their costumes and props on the … Continue reading
