With the Sorge's fire having squashed plans for a "Pirates in Pink Pants" show in January (and the cancellation of a January KLP fundraiser halting a one-time revival of "Dead Air"), I had a month off from theater, spent catching up on both work and DVD projects (although I did audition and rehearse for an April show ( Read more... )
