This year I am honored to be a featured artist at The Last Frontier Theater Confernce in Valdez, AK. This conference is run by Dawson Moore, and his support and love of theatre and of playwrights (he is one himself) bound this conference to greatness. If you know him, you know what I mean. If you don’t know him, you should. Now in it’s 16th year, the conference is considered by many THE conference to attend. Why? Read on…

Hello from Valdez. It’s Wednesday and we are half way through the week. It’s been a great and awesome week so far! I have met some wonderful folks and also been able to reconnect with some of my old time friends. I have also gotten to play a range of really fun roles and meet some gret playwrights along the way. The picture above is outside the schools dorms (where we are staying) and cannot possibly give you the impression of what the backgrounds are like here in Valdez. I almost forget that I am from Alaska!

The Tenth Alaska Overnighters takes place this weekend, January 6 & 7, at 8:00 p.m. at the Wendy Williamson Auditorium. Tickets are $10.

Call 907-677-PLAY for more information.
