I'm really excited about what's coming up - which I will announce in this space once I'm cleared for my next gig, but right now I wanted to catalogue something of my time in WI: the shows I saw, and events I attended. I don't think I'm going to save the programs/tickets for a scrapbook, but I think listing them out is a cool record of how else I filled my time here, and around the country. This is definitely a partial list - I only saved tickets or programs some of the time.
- Taize gatherings in Chicago, Pine Ridge, and Austin (still need to write a thank-you-note for Austin)
- Darlingside had a show in WI this past winter; I took some dear friends with me and we enjoyed the great sound (using just one mic!)
- Bookless: the madison central library held an event with live music acts, art everywhere, and a few "Special features" as we said goodbye to the library before a big renovation. The definite highlight was lots of free paint and brushes to get creative on several walls.
- Madison Remembers: I sang in this 9/11 memorial concern pictured to the right.
- Monster Trucks! On a whim, I joined M, M, and A at Madison's smallish arena to see a pretty good show
- Madison State Fair - weather was bad, eh.
- The Magic Castle - an amazing club in LA that I got to visit thanks to a work trip and got in thanks to a work connection.Very privilaged.
- Verona Area Theater - Singing in the Rain and The Producers
- Middle Theater - Les Miserables. It was an AMAZING show.
- Stoughton Players - Company.
- John Oliver Stand-up in Madison.
- Bobby McFerrin in Chicago, and endless calls from the CSO afterward for a membership.
- Catch Me if you Can - the national tour, with a friend's friend in the cast
- Almost, Maine in Rhode Island with a friend in the cast
- Once on Broadway
