AUTUMN ALMANAC

I don't know about you, but my Labor Day was GREAT. My husband and I woke up Monday morning and said hey let's get out of here so that's what we did. We rented a car, googled "best diner in Connecticut" and went there then googled "mini golf and go karts" and then went THERE and then we got some used books and then we took a late afternoon walk and saw a bunch of college students moving into their dorms and we sighed and reminisced and then we drove home and that was how we closed out our summer. Bye summer.

Fall's gonna be great, though. It's just about time to get cozy.

See below for info on the production of Cyrano I'm doing, a Broadway Buskers concert of my own, and the several concerts I have the pleasure and honor of being featured in in the coming weeks.

And oh hey just a little tidbit - we recorded a cast album for In The Green and you'll get to hear it soon :)
