“No dry history lesson here. Theatre Banshee is marking the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War with a deeply affecting reprise of Mine Eyes Hath Seen …its intimate, skillful presentation breaches the pages of history with notable immediacy.”

Rave review for Theatre Banshee’s – Mine Eyes Hath Seen from Stage Scene LA’s Steven Stanley…

http://www.stagescenela.com/2015/04/mine-eyes-hath-seen/

“Theatre Banshee commemorates the sesquicentennial of end of the bloodiest war in our nation’s history in their tenth-anniversary revival of Mine Eyes Hath Seen, Sean Branney and Leslie Baldwin’s theatrical montage of Civil War tales told “in their own words,” and powerfully so, under Branney’s imaginative direction…”

I’d just like to note…

…that my last rant was completely justified because… JK Simmons won the SAG Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role!!
And had a beautiful, intelligent and funny acceptance speech to boot:

Whiplash

Just watched the film Whiplash. I’ve never had a movie make me cry, pant, and growl at the tv all at the same time. I can’t get over it.

I woke up early yesterday morning and squeezed in Whiplash just in time before the SAG Awards voting deadline and I’m SO GLAD I did. Would’ve been furious at myself for not being able to vote for J. K. Simmons

Had a blast directing “What Happens In Rome” by Robin Russin for The Cafe Plays at The Ruskin Group Theatre

Starring the amazingly talented and beautiful ladies Nicole Olney & Julia Arian!
Big thank you to everyone who worked so hard to bring it all together!
