Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011Tonight I do a reading of WHO’S YOUR DADDY? in Las Vegas to benefit Golden Rainbow. 7:00pm at the LGBT Center in Commercial Center on E. Sahara Blvd. (Otherwise known as Bath House Row! Imagine! Three in one strip mall. Only in Vegas! And Palm Springs! This is next door to The Rack/Onyx Theatre where [...]
Hillary and Mitt
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011Now doesn’t that sound like a good combination for 2012? I have always been a Hillary fan. Now more than ever. I reluctantly voted for Obama. We all did. But Hillary has proven herself to be one of the best leaders America has ever had. I am continually inspired by her. (I’m also inspired by [...]
I Am an Ex-Mormon
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011Imitation is the best form of flattery. It also re-inforces the opposition’s point of view. It shines light to the source. It is an adolescent form of revolution. It’s clever. But it doesn’t have true power and authenticity. It’s something I should look at myself. The more original I can be, the more credibility I [...]
Evil? Really?
Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011“Today I see the Mormon Church as one of the most evil organizations on earth.” –Bruce Bastian, “Mormon From My Eyes”, Gay.com About a year or so ago my literary agent tipped me off to a project where gay Mormons were sharing their stories in mini essays on Gay.com. As I scrolled through the many [...]
Tokyo Disney Sea
Monday, March 21st, 2011When I first got divorced I auditioned for Disney’s themeparks. Like almost all triple-threats at BYU’s musical theatre department and former Young Ambassadors, I had always wanted to work at Disneyland or Disneyworld. It was the stepping-stone to being in Les Miz. (Okay, I’m a singer’s dancer not a dancer’s dancer. Can I still think [...]
Manic Monday
Monday, March 21st, 2011My big birthday wish (aside from seeing my daughter recently in her school musical) was to see the musical THE BOOK OF MORMON on Broadway. My friend Victoria Moran (bestselling author of HOW TO LIVE A CHARMED LIFE) offered me a ticket. For tonight! These tickets are like $150! I wanted to go so badly. [...]
Greco-Mormon from Zakynthos
Sunday, March 20th, 2011I have been doing a lot of research about my Greek heritage for my play WHO’S YOUR DADDY? I cried when I read about the early Greek immigrants in Utah. This was a side of my family I never knew about. What a colorful legacy. My grandfather was half Greek. And his father, Dennis Barbarigos, [...]
Miss Dorothy
Saturday, March 19th, 2011My daughter did a fantastic job as Miss Dorothy in her middle school musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. At thirteen she looks gorgeous first of all. Long beautiful limbs, a leading lady build, a great speaking voice, wonderful comic timing, natural acting (with just the right amount of style), and she looked like she was having [...]
Birthday
Thursday, March 17th, 2011It’s my birthday and I’m flying to Salt Lake City to see my daughter in “Thouroughly Modern Millie.” She is playing “Miss Dorothy”. I love this musical. We would watch the movie version (the original) over and over as a young family. “Sad to be all alone in the world.” “Soy Sauce.” “Raspberry”. We know [...]
Today I Choose
Wednesday, March 16th, 2011This morning I’m thinking about how many times I have not chosen my values. I have “done” my values to please individuals and groups. Because I was raised in a cult-mentality, you could make the argument that even when I was being “good” I was actually pretending to be perfect to gain the approbation, support, [...]
