Here’s a video shot & edited the morning of June 20th, 2009, the 20th year reunion meetup of my Park Day School class of 1989, taking place in the SF Bay Area today! Wanted to put my few cents in and send my love their way. A bit longer than I expected it, but I was singing a lot into the camera. Enjoy!

Another reminder that Pete & I have been in the City of New York more than a year is the Museum Mile Festival, which Pete & I briefly attended in 2008. That day, we only had about 30 minutes to run around the MET Museum of Art and then walked down the closing 5th Avenue. This year, however, I planned on spending at least 2 hours walking around. I had a performance at BMI for an hour (singing the role of Starbuck in a musical version of “Battlestar Galactica” the miniseries, written by Eric March as part of his musicalContinue readingMuseum Mile Festival 06-9-2009!

Composer Eric March for his final BMI presentation audition yesterday did “Battlestar Galactica: The Musical.” I played Starbuck, which is the type of military athletic role that I don’t usually get to play. If I were in the military, I’d be sitting behind a desk…In any event the “minishow” went very well. I was also able to go to the Museum Mile for a few hours. I’ll post pictures about that evening soon. -Sierra

Hopefully you can take the time to come visit me – I’m sure the nurseswill let you in so you can play with me and my puppet! -Sierra

April 19, 2009: Alex Lo Dico Ensemble at 42nd StreetA great jazz band that certainly drew a large crowd as I made my way from one train to the other. Their website: www.alexlodico.com “Available – parties weddings etc” Xylophone Player at 59th Street Colombus CircleLike it sounds – a neat xylophone player!

Thursday night was my evening off from “Ruddigore” Rehearsal (April 24-May 24, 2009, www.theater1010.com!), so I enjoyed an evening out with Pete at Big Night Out, one of the two classy, laid-back open mics I regularly go for. I sang with Kay during the first act, then sat back and watched the Composer Showcase for John Meyer. This was a unique night for Big Night Out, which usually offers a more traditional Composer Showcase in which many songs are performed by many different singers, one after the other. But this night, some classic work by Meyer was sung and playedContinue readingBig Night Out Composer Showcase with John Meyer

So, my husband buys us muppets for Christmas via www.jay.thepete.com, and I have Kay the chanteuse making appearances at open mics. Then, I audition and get the singing/puppeteering role of Ruth in “Ruddigore.” I email TimeOut New York Magazine a few weeks later in the hopes that they might do some overall research regarding puppetry – classes, theater companies, construction, etc. And they answered in this week’s magazine, page 6 of the “You Asked for It” section!
