I am so ecstatic to share that my newest screenplay “Thrift” won the Best Screenplay Award at the LA Femme Film Festival! It was a complete shock to me that I would be receiving a gorgeous trophy not to mention be given a chance to speak up on stage. I decided to be in total […]
Frozen Jr.
We just finished our production of Frozen Jr. and as always I am so proud of our performers. While Frozen is an obviously exciting choice for a community theater, there are a few aspects of it that are a definite challenge to pull off on a smaller budget. There’s snow, an on-stage transformation, and puppetry […]
My Week with Marley Spoon
It’s my week with Marley Spoon! This company was repeatedly suggested to me over on my YouTube channel so I was excited to give them a try. I had been hesitant in the past because a lot of the Marley Spoon meals looked like some other sub par companies that I’ve tried in the past, […]
Newsies
I just finished up with a production of Newsies and all I can say is, WOW. It was an amazing show! Our production team and performers really stepped it up and the hard work definitely paid off. We had a cast of about 90 kids which is much larger than our normal cast and so […]
My Week with Freshly
I’ll admit, I started off on a skeptical note with Freshly. Microwave meals just scream 80’s TV dinner to me and while that brings to mind some awesome memories, it doesn’t inspire the most confidence in a home cooked meal. I was skeptical about the taste, the quality, the freshness… basically everything. With pregnancy fatigue […]
My Week With Plated
This week I’m talking about Plated! I’ve been cooking with Plated on and off for a while now but this is the first chance I’ve had to do a review. This week was full of great flavors and some really nice sides and toppings. We had one of Plated’s popular meals – Sheet Pan Chicken, […]
My Week with Sun Basket – Round 2
Hello blogging world, I’m back! I’ve had so many inquiries about my meal delivery videos that I decided to continue the series. First up this week is a re-review of Sun Basket. Why you ask? Well, they’ve had some slight changes but also my viewers on YouTube seem to be really interested in the company […]
High School Musical
We just closed our Spring show of High School Musical and it was another great one, particularly for the cast. These kids were so close and had so much fun together. It was one of those shows where everyone cries at the end. No joke, there were countless sobbing faces backstage after the curtains closed. […]
White Christmas
What better way to get into the holiday spirit than with a production of White Christmas? I’ve been wanting to produce this show for a long time but theater availability is always an issue around this time of year. But 2018 was the magic year and it all came together for us! This show was […]
YL Spotlight Anniversary
I can’t believe it’s been 15 years since I started Spotlight with a group of my friends. It’s been quite a ride with lots of challenges but the company keeps on growing and has never been better. I cut together this video with some of our awesome performers talking about their favorite Spotlight memories. Here’s […]
