youngARTS magazine
It looks like I'll soon be writing for youngARTS magazine, a national magazine featuring high school students who compete for scholarships in the visual and performing arts. I was impressed with the amount of money they give out to performers each year.
This is a personal blog with absolutely no affiliation with the Lansing State Journal. While I write a column on similar topics for them, this blog is purely my own opinion with no one responsible for what is expressed here except me. What I'll express here are observations and thoughts about theater, shows, and art in general. I'll mostly avoid reviews--I prefer traditional media for that--and stick with more conversational responses to theater.
I am a lover of theater who is blessed to be able to write freelance theater reviews and a weekly performing arts column for the Lansing State Journal. I have a degree in journalism and was a National Endowment for the Arts Arts Journalism Institute in Theater and Musical Theater fellow in 2007.
I've acted in, directed, and worked back stage at theaters on a community level and am now content to cheer on the efforts of my husband and son. Together, Richard (my husband) and I were drama specialists at the Montessori Children's House of Lansing for four years.
I was also the publisher of Book Help Web (a book review and author profile/interview site) for many years and was one of the founding writers of Flyover (a blog that focuses on art news from America's outback) at Arts Journal. I'm a former Category Lead for the Books, Magazine, and Newspaper section of Epinions.com.
