Growing up in Kansas City, Tuesday nights in the summer meant Starlight Theatre. It still remains my favorite family outing — going out to dinner, and then watching a Broadway show under the stars in the cool summer breeze. Every time I step into Starlight I can feel the magic come alive, whether I’m watching Les Misérables or The Wizard of Oz – it’s a place I walk away from singing the tunes for days and days.

Actors and playwrights Celebrate the American Heartland Theatre
A couple of memories that stand out ... Paul Hough and Lilli Zarda gave me my first professional directing job with the scandalous Joe Orton play What the Butler Saw (during the 1993-1994 season). This show is a farce, but very sexual and shocking for a Midwestern family theater ... My second directing job at AHT was a Sherlock Holmes show that had a live bird that carried a prop message to Mark Robbins onstage every night.
