About Me


I really don't have much to say about myself. I graduated from college with two degrees (Accounting and Business Management), and now I manage health and dental insurance claims for a small self-insured company. My husband graduated from Stetson University in DeLand, Florida, and is currently teaching theatre in Pinellas County. We work together on every theatre project we do. I thoroughly enjoy all kinds of theatre, and I try to participate whenever possible, whether it be by acting or designing. Below are a few photos from selected past stage experiences, both mine and my husband's.



Comedy Club
TheatreFest
TheatreFest was a sort of all-encompasing revue performed annually at our high school which incorporated various skits, scenes, and musical numbers.
We performed several times throughout the years.




Pictured above is the scene from Guys and Dolls where Sky Masterson tries to get Sarah to go to Havanna with him. I played opposite my honey, now hubby, Jerry.

While I love most all aspects of theatre, musicals are my absolute favorite! Click on the links below to see some of the latest stuff on Broadway! I own over 300 albums of cast recordings of various musicals, so if you would like a personal recommendation, just e-mail me, and I'd be happy to give it!





This picture was taken in front of the New York Public Library shortly after our Honeymoon. And for any of those romantic saps out there, yes, I love him with all my heart. To put it in Princess Bride terms: He's my "True Love", better than any Westley I could ever imagine.




That's me (in a nutshell). Any questions or comments, feel free to e-mail me or drop a message in my guestbook on my homepage.
