I've recently completed a trio of posters featuring a collage of St. Bernard parish photographs. Traveling around the parish to capture images of a place I love was a joy, and I hope St. Bernardians will enjoy having these posters for their homes. Each poster is printed on cardstock, and is 11 x 17 inches. Posters are currently available at Gallery 421, located at 421 Columbia Street in

Together with my partner, Barry Lemoine, Shine has produced seasons of shows that include original productions, Shakespearian plays, Variety Showcases, and comedy shows.

Durning the next few years, through a company called Class Glass, I created several windows and commissioned pieces, which I hope have survived through floods and tornadoes.After Katrina, a group of volunteers that were gutting my workshop found several of my glass pieces and with

One of my favorite roles has been playing Gov. Blanco in the Voices of Louisiana. Probably that's because I get to read my lines off cue cards.I was fortunate to play Mickey the cop in the female version of the Odd Couple at Luke's Brisket and Broadway, working with Suzanne Parsons and Grace Marshall. I've had ensemble roles in Voices of Louisiana, Shine After Dark, and Star Crossed. It was lots
