I had someone snap this photo at a MasterMedia International event. Another MWF (www.MasterWorksFestival.org) faculty member, George Merritt, had already left.

Here's a photo I hadn't posted from our trip to New Zealand, where I taught and performed in Auckland.

We stopped at a glass blowing factory. The hottest kiln heats the lava to 1200 degrees C or 2192 degrees F.

I met with a young actor from LA who took your Sociodrama workshop at the CITA (CITA.org) conference at Azusa Pacific with me. We talked at length about how profitable that was for us. I use what I learned from you in my classes at our local high school, so your influence continues!

When CITA ask...

Just heard celebs tell memories of Tennessee Williams. My favorite was when he went to the debut of one of his films. The woman asked him where he was from (wanting to know what studio), and he said, "Mississippi." She called him a wise guy and turned him away until she heard Eli Wallach ...

We pray over the other burroughs and Long Island, and over all the ground the East River touches.

We've reached the end of our prayer walk. Thanks for joining us.

If you're starting this at the top of the blog, you can pray it in reverse.

Now we're heading back to dress the turkey. While it cooks we'll...

We pray the representatives here would make wise choices for peace and justice around the world.

I got to perform in the UN when I was in the cast of The Jeweler's Shop, written by Pope John Paul, II, so I'm reminded to lift up the current pope. Lord, flow through his recent decision to honor artists...

The Lamb's Church/Theatre/Center for the Homeless is where I lived the first four years that I was in New York, and I performed there for the church, theatre patrons, and the homeless, whom I served meals at least once a week.

We're grateful to live so close to the cross roads of the world, where the echo of 60,000 voices of Prayer on the Square are so vivid in our memories. May many more prayers go up from this intersection!

And as people disperse from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade may they keep looking up!

We're quite grateful for The Helen Hayes, the smallest Broadway theatre, where I've kept an office (a former dressing room) since the late '90's.

We pray for all performing artists on Broadway and around the world, that they will come into a fuller appreciation of their gifts and the Giver of all goo...

This is the theatre where we had an Off-Broadway run of Beyond the Chariots (http://RichDrama.com/BeyondtheChariots) in 2006

We're grateful for all the Salvation Army has done for bodies and souls all over the world.

We thank the Lord for all the many parks in Manhattan. We pray that Manhattanites, who mostly see works of man all day long will be reminded of the Creator.
