I have been living on my own for a year now and am getting a feel for what it's like to pay for my rent, groceries, bills, etc. I am renting a room in a house with my landlord, whom I pay the rent to, and for the most part things have been going along smoothly. Unfortunately, I am considering...

I wanted to share my experience with my local stage theater company. They did a production of "The Wizard of Oz" and I had been cast in the ensemble as a crow and the leader of the winkie soldiers that the wicked witch sends out to capture Dorothy and her friends. This was my first show with...
