I conceived of this show following my experiences as a member of the “Listen to your Mother” production last May. That entire experience reminded me that storytelling is such a profound way to communicate with one another. …
This week’s column (‘The Second Half’) is about how to handle inconsiderate people. Sadly, this is a topic I am often asked about. Yep, there are days when it seems like the good guys are in the minority. Inconsideration seems to be running rampant throughout every corner of our culture.
