  • Mawwige is What Bwings Us Togethah Today

We start off at our original home away from home, the Pittsboro Roadhouse & General Store on Thursday, February 13. Tickets here. For Valentine’s Day itself, we are back to Summerfield Farms. A gorgeous wedding venue

    The More Things Change…

    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

  • ‘Tis the Season

    ‘Tis the Season

    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

  • Death After Death

    Death After Death

    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

    Murder at Eleven

    UPDATE: This show has been cancelled. Leaving this post up in case you tried to get tickets because of it and are now very confused. And because it contains a good story (; Don’t worry – we’ll be back soon! *Scene, almost five years ago* Jessica: We need another woman for our murder mystery. Someone

  • Thick Thighs Save Lives

    Over the winter, Hampton and I have discovered an appreciation for the humble bone in/skin on chicken thigh. Usually we sear and then braise with some sort of wine or cider and whatever veg we have around, but this weekend, as we wanted to use our new grill for the first time and we were

  • It was predicted that our area of central NC was going to get hit with a whopper of a storm. And for once, “they” were right. Sunday, we got approximately 14.5″. We usually average less than half of that in an entire year. My choir gig’s Christmas cantata was canceled (and our second show at

  • I Love My Willy

    I Love My Willy

    Remember that time I said I was taking a break? There were two shows I really wanted to do and two shows I kindof wanted to do, but then I realized… I love my couch. But then I got a message from Jessica, the founder and leader of the Phoenix Theatre Company. She had procured

  • Last night, the Phoenix Theatre Co. brought the fantasy-and-sci-fi-themed murder mystery that we used to celebrate #jessip to our home at the Pittsboro Roadhouse & General Store. Jessica and Phillip jumped in the cast themselves this time, but our dear friend Ali was busy being fabulous in another show. Where could we find a young

  • A Phoenix rises from the ashes… of last week’s fireworks…?

    When last we left the Phoenix Theatre Company, Jessica and Phillip (aka #jessip) were just married and fireworks sent them off to their honeymoon… …which was cut a bit short because Rock of Ages Winery hired us to bring Johnny O’Reilly’s speakeasy to the vineyard. Dying for a Drink is definitely one of my favorite Phoenix shows. I never
