The lovely Hugh Roberts invited me over to talk about a real life experience as part of a series on his blog. As a 16 year old I had already nurtured ambitions of being an actress and singer and was thrilled to be cast in the college operetta in a leading role. OMG did I get more than I bargained for… I hope you will head over to read about the adventure on and off stage. Thanks to Hugh for encouraging me to dredge this memory out of storage..
I’m delighted to welcome Sally Cronin to my blog today, sharing a true story that had me laughing all day after I read it. It bought back many happy memories of a similar nature for me, especially some of the parts I played in school plays and amateur dramatics.

Thank you so much for being my guest this week, Sally. I love the true story you shared with us.

Hugs to you.

I enjoyed reading this yesterday on Hugh’s blog, Sally. It’s funny how you were typecast as a tree for so long. Little did they know there was a performer just wanting a chance.

It’s the way you tell ’em, Sally! This had me crying with laughter – at that point where the fiasco was crowned by the affronted wife sitting next to your parents. 😀
