Magic to Do: Thrill Me

This blog has been a passion of mine for some time now and I love working on it. It brings me so much joy and I'm glad for all the support I've been given over the years. As you know this past year has been explosive. I've expanded this blog to Twitter, Tumblr and several other social media platforms. Anyway, I'm trying to get together my first ever directorial job. I want to do this nifty show called Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story by Stephen Doglinoff. The only problem is that I have to come up with all the money myself. Now, I'm a college student and I don't have that much money. That is why I set up a GoFundMe page. I'm normally not one to ask strangers for money, but I really want to do this show. Even if you only donate $1 it would help.

Unexpected Song: Days and Days

About a month or so ago I saw Fun Home at Arden Theatre Company and I became obsessed with the character of Helen Bechdel, the matriarch of the family, but more specifically with her gorgeous solo "Days and Days" that is near the end of the show and is just such a poignant song which Jenine Tesori and Lisa Kron wrote so beautifully. P.S. Sorry couldn't find many full videos/audios of women singing this song.
