About Me

I am a public relations professional who loves to write, spend time in nature, try new recipes, travel, and of course, see live theatre! 

I started this blog in college as a casual hobby but then very quickly got distracted with activities on the college newspaper and radio station, which I loved. 

Now that I'm post-grad and a couple years into my professional career my goals for this blog are the same as they were in 2015 - a casual place to share thoughts with friends and family.

Feel free to subscribe and follow along to see what I get myself into next!

Best,

Beth 

P.S. - You can also follow my professional work on my college portfolio (a bit out of date) and my LinkedIn.

Anna Marie Tendler is a complicated woman, and my feelings after reading her memoir are complicated too.

  TW: mentions of psychiatric hospitals, self-harm, suidicial ideation, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, general discussion of mental illness “Men Have Called Her Crazy: A Memoir” follows artist Anna Marie Tendler in early 2021 as she voluntarily “checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression and self-harm.” At this time, she is also mid-divorce with comedian John Mulaney, which is likely a significant reason why a lot of people wanted to read this book (spoiler: he isn’t mentioned explicitly, this is her story.)  The subject matter of this book is heavy. Tendler discusses her long history of depression, anxiety, self-harm by cutting herself with scissors, disordered eating, suicidal ideation, her difficult relationship with her mother, her storied dating history, her career high and lows, and her struggle to get the mental health support she truly needed. The memoir bounces back and forth between her time in the hospital ...

If you're still reading these, I know you love me because the last 2-3 weeks of shows have been pretty rough to get through. But I am still dedicated to the journey, it's not like I have something more interesting to do in the middle of the pandemic winter.  Let's dive in - we've got a couple classics this week! My Fair Lady  Have I heard of it before? Yes, I will always watch the movie if it's on TV Did I enjoy it?

The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phonetician, so that she may pass as a lady.

FINAL Broadway 2 A Day: 2018 - 2020 (Hadestown, Beetlejuice, Diana and Six)

451 shows in the span of one year. The Broadway 2 A Day challenge is complete. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the 3-5 people who followed this blog for a whole year. This challenge has allowed me to connect with new people and share my love of musical theatre while unable to see shows due to COVID.  Although this challenge became overwhelming at times I'm so glad I stuck with it and continued to document it on this blog and on my  Spotify.  Early in the new year, I plan to do a "Best Of" style recap to recommend a handful of shows for listening, then I will be taking a long break from this blog. Thanks again, let's dive in one more time. Hadestown Have I heard of it before? Yes, this is one of my favorite shows of all time. This was my top album on my Spotify Wrapped in 2019. Did I enjoy it? Yes, this music is so beautiful and haunting.  Synopsis: Orpheus, a passionate and talented musician, and Eurydice, an independent and resilient young woman, fall ...
