Okay, So Why Are There Ads?

Because I'm a whore. We will actually get paid if people click on these ads, and that money will go towards renting a theatre on Broadway (after our off-broadway premiere at MST).

Okay. It's Why, Not Wy

So here's our final mission.
La Dabberina, the Cookbook Musical (working title)
Abby, lead chef
Jennifer Udden, Producer
Clare Greene, Musical Director (you do run the Houston Symphony, for God's sake)
Uncle Geoff, Technical Director
Becky, Director (we got to let Mom play, don't we?)
Saffi, whenever we need a squirt of something
Others to be named, positions to be named
Let's get to work

Wy This Way?

I thought of the intricacies and delays of mass-emailing each other with ideas, etc., and decided that having a group blog would be the most efficient. If you have an idea (the more inane, the better), just log on and post it. Each of you is granted administrator access, so it is a true group blog.

Hey

Here's the deal, girls. A brief history.
One cold, dateless night in March, Abby asked me for a recipe for macaroni.
Thanks to Facebook, we got to talking and decided (jokingly) to write a recipe book,
with the clear understanding that when we were less bored we would forget the whole thing.
So, being more bored than Abby, i took the picture that she sent me of her finished macaroni, doctored it a bit (poorly) and sent it back.
Clare ran across it on Abby's Facebook page, and volunteered her services. As you know, Clare and I have a publishing history.
Not long afterwards, Jennifer (the sequel) mentioned the "project" to me. When I found out what she did for work (I'm always the last to know) I jokingly told her that when we made the cookbook into a play, she could produce it.
She shot back a query - how do you make a musical about recipes?
Well, apparently that's our latest goal. I've got some ideas, for the next post. I want to see what this fool page looks like with one post on it.
