Man! I’ve been busy this summer.

Of course I thought about the time commitment when I started thinking about auditioning for a musical – you always think about the time commitment. What’s been tough is being a full-fledged adult with a full-time job in corporate America, a daughter who needs me less and less but is still someone I like to spend time with. And, of course, squeezing in a social life somewhere. It’s been tough.

But… “Flowers for Mrs. Harris” is a beautiful show!

My fellow cast mates and I were chatting just last night about how much we’re loving it, how special it is, how moving it is and how we love it more and more each time we spend time with Ada Harris and the people she impacts along the way.

Based on the book of the same name, “Flowers for Mrs. Harris” is not so much a song and dance musical, but more heartfelt storytelling set to music. The 2022 film, “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris,” is based off the same book. While there are slight differences, the charm is the same.

This is the North American premiere of the musical, and I’m honored to be a part of that, during the inaugural season at The Ruth, the gorgeous new venue for Hale Center Theatre Orem.

While both casts are loaded with talent, I’m in the Tues/Thurs/Sat cast, performing those evenings at 7:30p as well as the following 4p matinees: Sept 20, Oct 4, Oct 18, Nov 1 and Nov 15.

Tickets are selling fast! I hope to see you there http://www.TheRuth.org
