Oregon Country Fair

This year I was part of an ensemble for the Oregon Country Fair with Shannon Collier, Alex Allen, and Mark Growden.

Marks music was the inspiration of the piece, and lucky for us, he was accompanied by these wonderful musicians Ben Farrell, Steven Bent, and Harry Levine.

Our show was called "Teaspoon of Sugar".  It was the story of an older woman (me) sharing her memories of a lost love.

Shan played the young me and Alex played the old and young love. It was sweet, funny and emotional, and brought many people to tears.

 It was quite a heartfelt production. We all enjoyed the outcome and hope to make our way together again in the future. Thanks to Jess Hobbs for the beautiful photos!

OCF Mud Bay Jugglers n me

A great honor I had this year at the Oregon Country Fair, was to be invited to stand in for an act in the Mud Bay Jugglers' show. I got to wear an enormous beard and take slow-motion cues from Hairy, who I was standing in for. It was such a delightful and special thing for me, as I really look up to and respect these fellas.

I think the look on my face says it all. This is one happy girl.

Thanks Alan, Harry, and Doug!
