A Cowboy Christmas??

Hi Y'all!! (please read this blog in a southern drawl LOL!)

I am in the throws of Production week and its a little crazy but exciting! Opening Saturday night, Soul Factor (along with some friends) are presenting For Unto Y'all - A Cowboy Christmas! This is a fabulous musical about the Christmas story but told in a different way, set in 1888 in the little town of Bethlehem in the Wyoming Territory in the Old West.
"In this unconventional telling of the ageless story of Jesus' birth, old Doc Trotter introduces the angel Gabriel, a six-gun totin' masked man dressed in white, as Gabriel tells Mary and Joseph the good news. We follow the exploits of the “Three Wise Men” Frobisham (pompous Englishman), Prescott (brash New York journalist), Professor Von Metzenbaum (German astronomer) and their housekeeper Irish Kate as they travel through the hostile territory to arrive at Bethlehem to meet the new baby King. They also come across Governor Tyree - cousin of the leader of the worst outlaw gang in the land… it runs in the family, except he steals from behind a desk. Arriving in Bethlehem Mary and Joseph meet Gracie the Saloon Ma’am, who heads them towards the livery stable. The shepherds become a rowdy bunch of lonesome cowboys working their herd on the prairie and the angels become a heavenly posse, and they all end up in the livery stable."

This musical is a hilarious show, we the cast are having a ball and look forward to sharing it with you. I am playing Irish Kate and this is a different role for me but a lot of fun.
So am I going to see you there?? It is extremely kid friendly (we had some children there last night at rehearsal and they laughed a lot not to mention kept their eyes on the guns of the cowboys) and a great time for all the family. Also we would love to see you dress up! So grab your hat, strap on your six guns and saddle your stick horses, this is going to be a fun ride!!

A Dream is a wish your heart makes....

A dream is a wish you heart makes... Do you have a dream? something that you want your life to be? or somewhere you want to go? Are you reaching for it? I have had a dream to be a Mary Kay Director since I joined the company 10 years ago and this month I took a huge step to achieving this. On October 1st I entered into DIQ or Director in Qualification, I now have 4 months to become a Director. I am very excited about this, the timing seemed right and when I do it I will be able to do just Mary Kay and Singing which will be perfect! It is rather scary though because there is a lot of work to be done in those four months, I have to build my team and reach certain production goals and sometimes it seems crazy, but that's the idea of moving up isn't it? taking a leap of faith? So why Directorship you ask? I understand leadership is not for everyone but I have always been drawn to it. I do have a passion for helping women feel good about themselves and I believe that we are...

MMMBop and road trip classics 😉

Road trip singalongs are the best! Do you agree?  What are your favourite songs to sing? Do you have specific lists or eras or styles of music you listen/sing to?  For me it usually depends who I am travelling with but nothing beats a good 80s/90s song list.... So last weekend I was on a road trip to Halls Gap with my sister, my brother in law and my niece and nephew. We had a fabulous time singing away the hours to many a favourite. Of course the kids occasionally asked for a song they knew but we thought it was important we listened to the classics haha 😜 We headed to Halls Gap for NanaFest 2019! A weekend to celebrate the 90th Birthday of my Nana Dawn. Staying in cabins and tents the family came from Victoria and SA and shared a weekend of catching up, a party, jumping pillows and bonfires. I do love my family, there is a a lot of us and it is lovely to see the all the generations interacting and enjoying each others company. We had wonderful weather and m...

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day...."

"Oh what a Beautiful Morning, Oh what a Beautiful Day......" Well actually its been a beautiful week! I did have the absolute privilege to play Laurey in Oklahoma! presented live on Four Oaks Farm in Littlehampton SA. It was such a beautiful setting to be in everyday, trees, fresh air, animals in the paddocks around and one rather show stealing peacock!! The cast was fabulous, the orchestra amazing and the sound superb (Tim Freedman, Allpro Audio  love your work!!). At the risk of sounding cheesy it was a magical experience. From the moment that Curly rides along the ridge on his horse (an actual horse!) singing "Oh what a Beautiful Morning" people were captivated. It was such a labour of love for all of us, and to see the joy in people's faces was so wonderful. This production was the idea of Emma Knights from Emma Knights Productions and along with some other wonderful people who captured the vision of it all as well, it actua...
