I am a writer and my new novel out now on Amazon and select stores is titled "The Reckoning of Rance. A modern day western about a troubled family of inheritance gone bad.

We will most likely choose to attend another performance next...
Read moreAlways enjoy ALT plays and productions. Most recent showing of the Musical production of Shrek is a must see. Kudos to the entire Cast and Staff.
