Studio Newsletter with Calendar
November 2024
I’ve been told multiple times that I look like two famous actresses — Shirley MacLaine and Kate Mulgrew (Captain Janeway in Star Trek, Orange is the New Black). What is REALLY funny is that Kate Mulgrew is currently performing in “Nancy Harris’s play The Beacon” at the Irish Repertory Theatre! “Nancy Harris has written a very dark, oddly, occasionally grotesquely funny play about human relationships in Ireland,” Kate says. [I knew my name was common, so that’s why I always use my middle initial.]
We will hold our December recital in Fort Collins this year!
PASSAGES
We have lost two great actors in the last month -- James Earl Jones at age 93, and Dame Maggie Smith at 89. They performed right up to the end, and will be missed!
FYI
From a recent report from the American Association for Cancer Research: Six types of cancer are linked to alcohol consumption: head and neck cancers, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and stomach cancer.
The statistics are sobering. In 2019, more than 1 in 20 cancer diagnoses in the West were attributed to alcohol consumption, and this is increasing with time. This figure challenges the widespread perception of alcohol as a harmless social lubricant and builds on several well-conducted studies linking alcohol consumption to cancer risk.
