Cinderella Ticket Giveaway for The Children's Theatre in Minneapolis

Quote of the Day:  Today is National "I love to write" day!

Whoo Hoo. It's my new favorite day. Raise your hand if you love to write! Ok. Put them down now and get busy. I'm pleased to report that I pumped out a few more pages in my newest play. A new character literally knocked on the door and entered. Very nice. And, today, I get to go to the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis to see Cinderella. Not only that, but they invited press to come to a preview, meet the cast and get a backstage tour. Come back tomorrow to see who accompanied me and to read the review!

Okay, I'm off to the show. See you tomorrow. Go out and do something fun this weekend.

Excited to see my sister Joy perform in this one. Go to GLAPA for more info.

Quote of the Day:  
“Templeton was down there now, rummaging around. When he returned to the barn, he carried in his mouth an advertisement he had torn from a crumpled magazine. 
How's this?" he asked, showing the ad to Charlotte.
It says 'Crunchy.' 'Crunchy' would be a good word to write in your web."
Just the wrong idea," replied Charlotte. "Couldn't be worse. We don't want Zuckerman to think Wilbur is crunchy. He might start thinking about crisp, crunchy bacon and tasty ham. That would put ideas into his head. We must advertise Wilbur's noble qualities, not his tastiness.”

Giveaway Tickets to "Charlotte's Web" at the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis

Quote of the Day:  
“But we have received a sign, Edith - a mysterious sign. A miracle has happened on this farm... in the middle of the web there were the words 'Some Pig'... we have no ordinary pig." 

"Well", said Mrs. Zuckerman, "it seems to me you're a little off. It seems to me we have no ordinary spider.” 
― E.B. White, Charlotte's Web

“It is deeply satisfying to win a prize in front of a lot of people.”
