Marissa Tomei on Broadway…The Rose Tattoo

Our December show(!!!!), can you believe we are planning for December???!, is going to be The Rose Tattoo with Marisa Tomei.  I LOVE Marisa Tomei…She is so awesome and honestly who can forget Lisa in My Cousin Vinny.  We have a group of tickets on Tuesday, December 3rd, in the orchestra for $110.  EMAIL me to save your spot!!!

This is one Tennessee Williams woman you won’t soon forget.

Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei unleashes a tour de force as Serafina, a widow who rekindles her desire for love, lust and life in the arms of a fiery suitor. Sharply directed by Trip Cullman (Significant Other), Williams’s lesser-known gem sizzles with humor and heart one sultry summer off the coast of Louisiana.
Don’t miss Tomei’s quintessential performance—erupting from the depths of despair to the heights of passion in this Tony Award-winning Best Play.

End of Summer Beach Picnic

It is shocking to me that August is half way over.  I was lucky enough to be able to get together, a lot, this summer with family and good friends.  We spent many beautiful nights at the beach.  Don’t let the summer go by without hosting your own beach picnic.  Here are some beautiful settings to get you motivated!

Book Club Monday

Are you ready for another THRILLER?  Than this week’s book club choice, The Stranger In Our Home by Sophie Draper is just for you!!!!   Here is the summary:


Have you been bad enough?

When her stepmother dies unexpectedly, Caro returns to her childhood home in the rural English countryside. She hadn’t seen Elizabeth in years, but the remote farmhouse offers refuge from a bad relationship, and a chance to start again.
But going through Elizabeth’s belongings unearths memories Caro would rather stay buried. In particular, the story her stepmother would tell her, about two little girls and the terrible thing they do.

As heavy snow traps Caro in the village, where her neighbours stare and whisper, Caro is forced to question why Elizabeth hated her so much, and what she was hiding. But does she really want to uncover the truth? – Good Reads
