A CHRISTMAS STORY BLOG: Thanksgiving and a Performance on The View!

We had a great Thanksgiving Day.  In the morning, we watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.  How could we be in NYC and not go to the parade?  Then we had Thanksgiving dinner with Erin Dilly, who plays my mother in the show, and her family at their home.  It was a wonderful time.  We had to have an early dinner though, because we had a performance that evening.  It went well, the audience was great, a good ending to a great Thanksgiving Day!  The weekend after Thanksgiving, my grandmother, aunt, and cousins visited us from North Carolina.  They saw our show - A Christmas Story, the Musical! - twice and all loved it, from my grandmother who is 85 down to my youngest cousin who is 5.  We also saw The Rockettes while they were here and had a backstage tour after the show, including visiting the camels who were a highlight of the living Nativity scene.

Last week was also a very big week.  We performed 

on The View.  I was able to meet Whoopi Goldberg and the other hosts of the show. Attached are photos of the rehearsal at The View studio right before the performance, which aired live.

One of the producers of our show, Pat Addiss, has organized an Anti-Bullying Story Competition.  To learn how you can participate in this worthy project and win free tickets to see A Christmas Story, the Musical! - and even get to have a walk-on role! -  go to the following link:
