Emerson Umbrella Live In Studio
Emerson Umbrella came into the WERS Studio on March 17th, Saint Paddy’s Day and rocked the sound waves. It being my first Live Music Week on the Radio I didn’t know what to expect. I assumed it would be a pretty good sounding group. I was wrong. This group was amazing. The group sounded like a recording! I [...]

Thoughts on Theater: Drowsy Chaperone
The Drowsy Chaperone, a musical with book by Bob Martin and Don McKellar and music and lyrics by Lisa Lambert and Greg Morrison, is by far one of my favorite musicals. Not only is the music amazing, it is also one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my life. This is no [...]
Thoughts on Theater: Putnam Spelling Bee
As a new member of the WERS Standing Room Only family, I was so excited to get involved, listening to new show tunes and some of my all time favorites. However with the huge library of songs Standing Room Only has, I was shocked to find out that one of my favorite shows — The [...]
Thoughts on Theater: Auditions
I have been to a lot of auditions in my life. That tends to be the case for most actors since they say that for every one job you do get, there will be twenty five you do not. So the only way to ever work is to simply audition for everything, getting through the [...]
Thoughts on Theater: Violence on Stage
Before I get started with this article, I would like to say that I am in no way endorsing abuse, violence, or carnage of any kind. Unless it’s on stage, in which case BRING IT ON! This isn’t intended to be some sick violence-glorifying statement, or statement on the perpetual warlike nature of humankind, but [...]
Thoughts on Theater: Film Adaptation
Yesterday I had the pleasure of going to see a free screening of Matthew McConhaghy’s new (or rather re-released) film Killer Joe. I won’t get too much into the details of the film itself, it’s rated NC-17 and after seeing it I would never look at KFC or Pumpkin Pie the same way again. I [...]
Thoughts on Theater: The Burlesque
In Boston, we’re lucky enough to live in a community where the word “burlesque” means more than a despicable Christina Aguilera movie. A time-honored tradition dating back to the sixteenth century, burlesque is a blend of adult entertainment (ahem) with the classy feel and dress of a theater to make for a night of performance [...]
