I started this blog with one daughter, kept it up with the other, to spend time together doing something we enjoyed.
However, things change and people evolve. My daughters are older, busier, and not as interested in writing.
From now on this blog will be mostly mom with occasional contributions from my daughters and maybe even my husband.
Nothing else will change. We'll still focus on sharing fun places to go, fun things to do, and more, and we would  still love to hear your views too

3) Arms and the Man

One of George Bernard Shaw’s most enduringly popular comedies follows a hunted soldier who, seeking refuge in a young lady’s boudoir, starts in motion a series of unlikely comedic events.  His unusual philosophies about life in general open up a world of thought she’s never previously entertained- certainly not with her dashing war-hero fiancée who also arrives unexpectedly.  This early work of Shaw’s is a sparkling examination of romance, sex, love, political maneuverings, war hope, and ... chocolate!

Writer, composer, and producer T.J. Armand announces the release of Happy Hour Blues – Volume 2 (Demo Sessions), the latest chapter in his three-volume recording project exploring queer life, immigration, and identity through the lens of New York City nightlife.


Happy Hour Blues is a multidisciplinary project anchored by a developing musical that follows Adam, a queer immigrant navigating love, exile, and belonging inside a country-themed gay bar in Hell’s Kitchen. Conceived during the isolation and cultural upheaval of the pandemic, the project introduces a vivid ensemble of characters shaped by longing, survival, and chosen family — including the bar’s sharp-witted female bartender, a role Armand is developing with Tony Award nominee Mary Bridget Davies in mind, known for her electrifying portrayal of Janis Joplin.

HELL’S KITCHEN continues to ignite audiences on Broadway and across the country, fans are invited to experience where dreams begin through its powerful storytelling and honor some of gospel’s electrifying dream makers the same week, we celebrate the birthday of the ultimate dream maker and civil rights icon, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.


In continued celebration of Dr. King’s life and enduring legacy, HELL’S KITCHEN will present a special activation, “Legends of Gospel Week,” saluting the trailblazing gospel artists and faith leaders whose voices, artistry, and messages have inspired generations and advanced social change through music and purpose.


“Legends of Gospel Week” kicks off on Tuesday, January 20, honoring gospel legend Donald Lawrence, a GRAMMY Award–winning producer, composer, and trailblazer whose work has shaped gospel music for more than three decades. A 30-time Stellar Award winner and a member of both the North Carolina Music Hall of Fame and the Black Music Hall of Fame, Lawrence’s influence spans music, film, and theater, inspiring generations through faith, excellence, and innovation.

 

The celebration continues on Wednesday, January 21, with a special Christian Cultural Center Takeover, including a salute to its visionary founder, Rev. Dr. A. R.
