Merci David Savoie of Radio-Canada for his thoughtful piece on French in Vermont that appeared recently on Désautels le dimanche. I’m proud to be among the Vermonters he spoke to for his piece. I specifically asked David not to use the headline “Les derniers francophones du Vermont” for his piece — in 2021 Radio-Canada did … More Le Vermont parle encore français
Wendy McLeod’s Women in Jeopardy! is a zany comedy about friendship, love, and paranoia — but it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you — and I’m thrilled to join the hilarious cast of Vermont Stage‘s production.

Samuel Beckett and James Joyce, two of Ireland’s literary giants, meet on a bridge, overlooking a river that might be the River Liffey, in a place that resembles Dublin — but might it be Hell? The possibility that they’re dead is just one of the questions the two entertain as they wait for — what … More Sam & Jim in Hell
My favourite thing about live performance is, duh, that it’s live — the intimacy and warmth of sharing something with an audience, the feeling of a large group of people breathing in sync as they ride the waves of a narrative together.
