Senior Follies


Yes, this is me...John Adams. Doing this play was the most fun I've had in several years. There were three performances...about 200 people each time...average age of the audience: 75. They're a great audience...very appreciative. All my family was able to attend...I think they were surprised that I could act (a little) and sing.

In the second half of the show, three of us did a tap dance to Boot Scootin' Boogie. You probably recognize Emma and Abby and that's their other grandmother, Carol, and she's one of the dancers.

Stage Debut

Big day today...I'm about to make my stage debut. At 73 I'm getting the chance to be the singing and dancing star I've always dreamed of being...well, star is a bit overstated, but it's still fun. I'll be performing in an abbreviated version of the Broadway hit 1776. I play John Adams. This is a production of the Fort Collins Senior Follies...and how fun that there's this group that lets all us Slightly Older Adult Players perform. At this moment, I'm terrified...wish me luck...pictures to follow.

First of my children to turn 50!!!  Wow, how is that possible?  We tried to surprise him...not sure we did.
