One of our regular Phoenix Theatre Co. castmates (and half of #jessip) has written his first full-length play, and we’re performing it this weekend at the Greensboro Fringe Festival. President Elect imagines what it would have been like on Election Night ’92 — 1892, that is — if today’s news industry existed then, as Grover…

How in the world is it the end of January already? Obviously, I am starting off super well at celebrating what’s happening at Flat 493. As mentioned, I’ve found a great group of cooks and food photographers who come up with Instagram collaborations to challenge my menu – and iPhone photography skills! • Technique –…

OK, if I’m going to celebrate more this year, I guess I need to share all the fun drinks we made for our 1920s cocktail party at the end of last year. And maybe explain what these cooking collabs are all about. An Instagram foodie friend, Dora, introduced me to a group that all cooks…

My word for 2019 was “true”. After 2018’s “practice“, true meant focusing on the things I like the most. Great, right! What could possibly go wrong?? Turns out that reading ARCs and cooking amazing food all the time makes it…. normal. And while it’s exciting to have these things be normal, it also makes it…

My second Heavy Feather Review submission is now live! Furies: Thus Spoke is an lovestory to the superhero genre and a strong allegory for the cruelty that is dividing our nation. You can read the full review here. I really wanted to talk about the author’s successful use of African-American Vernacular English, but wasn’t sure,…

It’s that time of year again — time for the Phoenix Theatre Company’s A Christmas Carol dinner show. This is my fourth season and Hampton’s fifth… so, clearly, it’s entertaining enough to keep us coming back. We have two seatings on Sunday, December 8 at our old haunt, the Pittsboro Roadhouse & General Store. Tickets can…

My first review for Heavy Feather Review is up now! Tales from the Crust is an anthology of pizza horror. What? Oh, I know. And you have no idea. Not for the faint of heart — or my mother (sorry, Ma!) — it was an interesting read, for sure. Full review here!

Summerfield Farms is having the Phoenix Theatre Co. back for another Halloween bash! We had such a good time last year in this beautiful venue with an engaged audience. Can’t wait to return! This time, we’re off to visit Madame Celeste — a “psychic” more con than kosher. And I get to play the wife…

I’ve never believed in the whole runner’s high thing, but I was so emotional after my first outside run in eons (come on, autumn, you can do it), that I was *sobbing* in my car listening to an interview with the CEO of Dick’s Sporting Goods talking about their decision to cease most gun sales.…

I love having seasons. The posterchild for Gemini, my mercurial nature gets bored with the same thing for too long. Therefore, I definitely did that Jonah Hill “squee” gif when Hampton told me squashes were coming in at the Trader Joe. With choir and a matinee last Sunday, my “meal prep” this week was really…
