The new year is in full swing, and life is very busy.

Man of La Mancha is deep into rehearsals, and it should be an outstanding show. We have an excellent cast, a wonderfully creative production team, and a fantastic script and score. Man of La Mancha performs at Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove April 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 & 12. Tickets available through Horizon Stage www.horizonstage.com. This show contains my all-time favorite musical theatre song ("I, Don Quixote") -- don't miss it.

For kids, I'm playing keyboard for The Adventures of Robin Hood. It runs at Festival Place in Sherwood Park, performing Feb 16, 17 & 18, and is great for 8-14 year-olds. Tickets and further information at www.festivalplace.ab.ca.

Finally, the Peas Live On! Judy, Timothy and I are performing for Cosmopolitan Music Society's Celebrity Silent Auction and Fundraiser on Feb 22nd. I worked for many years as the Choral Accompanist at Cosmopolitan Music Society, and am delighted to be performing for them again. Contact CMS at www.cosmopolitanmusic.org for further information.

Later on, there is a CD project with Martin Galba, which records this spring, a cabaret project with Martin Galba and Andrea Graham in May, and a very good possibility of a production at The Big Kahuna -- the 2008 Edmonton Fringe Festival! Here's hoping we'e high enough up on the waiting list!

Stay warm this winter, and see you all at the theatre!
