Performance Updates: recent acting endeavors, gigs or auditions:
Speaking of MRT, strongly recommend "The Outgoing Tide" currently playing. Probably best show of the season. Great acting, wickedly funny and poignant as it deals with elderly issues.
Yes, I did, 48 hours later I've recovered completely! Although, it was difficult to sing while writing a report for the Herald. Hope you got your wish and were "appropriately courted"!
Okay, so I'm just figuring out this is kinda like a facebook page. So, I just read your message. Good to hear from you Phyllis! I just moved back to Mass after 20 years in Seattle. Now, I am trying to get to know the Boston scene. It has been easy, especially with the fact that there really aren't any agents (which is weird). But, I am very happen to be home. I hope to see you, and maybe we will work together some day!
Thanks so much for the feedback Phyllis, really looking forward to memorializing Bobby. I can't stand when actors mimic the "Kennedy speak". I sent an MP3 off to Mike, presenting the RFK speech in Indianapolis, informing a campaign rally of MLK's assassination. I'll send it off to you. Paul

Phyllis, Where are you these days? I've got a place in Newton now. Please get in touch any ol' time. Would love to catch up. Dana

I am honored to be friends:). Congratulations on the corporate video gig!
Hi Phyllis, just saw that wonderful Mom video you did. It is simply spectacular. My kids enjoyed every minute of it. Love

Same here. Great meeting you. I'm sure we will run into each other soon.
