It’s official. My oldest has got the theatre bug. This week he completed an acting summer camp at The Carnegie and man, he’s got the bug, BAD.

The best part? On the last day of camp, parents were invited to watch as they performed their plays on a real stage in the theatre! I am so proud of him. Here are a few photos from their performance. Their play was called L.A.R.P.ing Adventure.

As many of you know, back in June I left the “Agency World” to go to The Carnegie Visual and Performing Arts Center in Covington.  For those of you not familiar – The Carnegie is the largest multidisciplinary arts organization in Northern Kentucky and it’s home to six art galleries, a 400+ seat theatre and a children’s arts education center. I wanted to take a moment to just make sure you were aware of our upcoming production of Rodger and Hammerstein’s musical, CAROUSEL.  If you know this show, you know how wonderful it is —> it was named “Best Musical of The Century” by TIME Magazine. CAROUSEL will be playing at The Carnegie weekends April 1-17 and tickets are really affordable, at just $19-$28 dollars. It’s being directed by NKU’s Mark Hardy, who is a veteran of the Broadway stage
