In His Time Plays Many Parts
Local actor Robby Griffith passed away on Friday. He often appeared in plays at Theatre Knoxville Downtown and in Tennessee Stage Company’s Shakespeare on the Square. Robby also worked at Lawson McGhee Library and occasionally as an English teacher at Pellissippi … Continue reading
Doing the Appy Dance
David Dwyer’s portrayal of Drosselmeyer in the Appalachian Ballet Company’s 2013 production of The Nutcracker inspired me to add some business on stage when I played the character in Oak Ridge this year. I was even more attentive to his … Continue reading
Parking and Tickets
It sounds odd, but a scarcity of parking in downtown Knoxville worked to my advantage on Friday night. My wife and I drove downtown earlier in the afternoon to take a three-hour ride with Knox Brew Tours. After the tour, we walked … Continue reading

Party Like It’s 1899
Rebecca Stansfield, whose daughter Emily dances with the Oak Ridge Civic Ballet Association, shared her excellent photos with the cast and crew via OneDrive. There are so many great photos I want to share, it was hard to choose. Here … Continue reading
Cracker Dip
Nutcracker withdrawal is a real thing. The mother of one of the first-time dancers asked about it in the Oak Ridge Civic Ballet Association’s Facebook group. My friend Pat, whose son Joey dances with the Appalachian Ballet, said that their cast … Continue reading
Drama Nut
After hearing the Nutcracker music every day for a month, I miss it now that my performances are over. I can hardly wait to receive the DVD that my wife ordered on Sunday. At the conclusion of Sunday’s show, my wife presented … Continue reading

Fun in “The Son”
There was something oddly nostalgic about the revival of The Son of the Musketeers at Sweet Fanny Adams Theatre. It’s supposed to evoke memories of the original for those who saw the 1982 production. The theatre is supposed to resemble … Continue reading
Avon Calling
The special at Shonos in City on Friday was a crab rangoon roll that was absolutely delicious. My wife and I shared one as we waited to watch Much Ado About Nothing on Market Square. The Tennessee Stage Company produces … Continue reading
Say You Want a Revolution
As a joke, I like to say that 1776 is my favorite musical about the Declaration of Independence. In reality, it’s simply one of my favorite musicals. My wife and I watch 1776 on DVD every summer on or about … Continue reading
Flexible Dwyer
Actor David Dwyer was very involved in the creation of the Big BBQ Bash in 2007. He was a member of the Leadership Blount class that started the annual event as their Legacy Project. My wife and I had the … Continue reading
Broadway Octocular!
Perhaps some movie or TV show made me anxious about the four binoculars in my luggage. Perhaps it was the process of buying them in the hunting department at Walmart. A couple of months ago, I purchased balcony seats for the June 7 … Continue reading
In a Mays -ment
Choosing a Broadway play was easy. I picked the one with “murder” in the title. Back in March, my wife and I looked up the list of shows that were likely to be playing in June. Popular shows like Wicked … Continue reading
