    Please join me this Saturday October 22nd at Marin Country Mart (MCM) Farmer's Market where I'ill be playing live music from 11am to 2pm with a few good friends and displaying some inspirations in art. I'm not quite calling myself a painter yet, but I'm pretty excited about what happens upon putting paintbrush to paper.  For now I'm painting hearts.

      Bring yourself and your family and tell your friends about it, too. The Marin Country Mart Farmer's Market happens every Saturday 9am-2pm rain or shine and it offers lots of activities for the whole family including story telling for kids at 10am.  Personally I'm looking forward to sampling the organic produce and allowing this open air experience to inspire a new installation of music and art. 

    Be Blessed,

    June 25, 2011 - 8pm Curtain

    Played to standing room only audiences in San Antonio in 2010, In Our Own Words brings to life the pioneers of the twelve step recovery movement. Simply, and with great humor and depth, the play retells the stories of the movements founders in New York, Akron, Cleveland and Los Angeles. Going further into its history, In Our Own Words also shares the lesser-known struggles of the pioneering members of special composition groups in the fellowship, including the first women and young people, as well as early African-American and Latino members. Join men and women like Marty M, Sybil C, Barry L, Joe McQ, and many more, on their search for a solution and acceptance. Their stories, and this play, are not to be missed. ICYPAA is proud to present the original production under the direction of the author herself.
