A wildly inventive powerhouse of a show.
Alternately dramatic and hilarious.
Stunning visuals and supercharged physicality.
I play a violent white-trash matron.
It will be totally awesome.
(strong language & situations = good for teens and up)
Hope summer is keeping you sunny.
love,

My poem won a prize!

Orchid, was one of ten “Walk Award” winners. It will be
printed and posted on local busses and engraved on a metal plaque for

and here’s Wild Orchid. Love to all, c.
Wild Orchid
by Carolyn McCarthy
Dead brown cedar litter and velvet liverwort
blanket the slumbering ground.
It rains for months
until a warm wind wakes the trees
the winter wren sings her spring song
and trillium unfurl their wide white flags.
Then the first wild orchid appears
leopard-spotted and spiky,
proud pink punk rock princess
whose bloom hangs around for a week or so
then fades to a ghostly husk,
crumpling back to the mossy ground
for another fifty weeks.
What if I put down my pencil
loosed my hair from its knot
and lay still in the dirt,
facing up?
