I was involved in a project last night, called Voices Of Sanibel. It was done here at The Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre, part of a kickoff celebration of black history month. The script was written by Tom Praither and it is a glimpse into the lives of the people who helped found Sanibel Island into what it is today. Very eye opening as far as a slice of life goes. It was a staged reading, and all involved helped to create a very memorable look into the past and the hardships the people of Sanibel had to overcome. From segregation to hurricanes, the main point, the people of Sanibel never give up hope, was beautifully poignant. No matter what has happened, they always rebuilt, found work, and most important of all, stayed together to overcome whatever odds or losses they incurred. I am proud to have been a part of this production and I hope it meets with equal success wherever it goes. Many thanks to Tom Praither for giving me the opportunity to be a part of it, as well as many thanks to the fellow cast mates who I very much enjoyed working with.
The heat is back in FL! Errr for now at least. Although I will have to say, I much prefer FL cold snaps to NC cold snaps! It got as low as 36 degrees here....wow....a whole 36! But I digress, the heat is back! One of these days, I might make it to the beach. At least, the plan is to get there at least once before I leave here! Where DID I put that speedo? HAHA!
