Summer break

For me, summer break is starting early this year! I am officially on project hiatus for a while, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to do.

Prep work for the Gershwin CD continues, and there are all sorts of rumors going around town as to what shows will presented by what companies next year. Fingers crossed there will be something fun.

In the meantime, enjoy the summer, get out to the festivals, and watch this space for updates on projects and performances.

Man of La Mancha

We are a week away from the opening of "Man of La Mancha", and everything is in high gear to bring the show to the stage.

The show runs April 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 & 12, at Horizon Stage in Spruce Grove.

For further details and ticket information, please visit www.horizonplayers.com.

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!

CABARET NIGHT RETURNS!!!

Yes, the intrepid team of Judy McFerran, Timothy J. Anderson & Sally Hunt will be returning to The Third Space with another rollicking evening of theatre and cabaret gems.

Specifics will follow, but keep the weekend of Friday Nov 30th /Saturday Dec 1st free. It's a great way to kick off the festive season. There'll be the usual mix of solos and duets, touching and emotive music, as well as humour and laughter.

Watch this space for further details!

Upcoming Performances

"Summertime...and the livin' is easy...."

Yes, summer is here -- a time to rest, relax, and recharge. After a very busy few years (wow! time flies), it is time for a bit of down time. It's a chance to enjoy the sun, and recharge the little grey cells before new and exciting projects launch in the fall!

As upcoming projects get confirmed, all the details will be posted here. In the meantime, try to reach the unreachable star... (that's a clue, by the way....)

Wishing you a relaxed and care-free summer
