Me as Lurch

I’m portraying Lurch in the Regina Lyric Musical Theatre production of The Addams Family musical, which opens tonight…I’m thinking maybe this should be my new author photo.  

Merry Christmas: me singing “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”

Here’s a holiday treat (at least, I hope it’s a treat): me singing “You’re A Mean One, Mr. Grinch” at Christmas Crackers 2015, the annual holiday revue of The Golden Apple Theatre here in Regina.
