StarStruk By Life

It is with mixed feelings that I watch the progress of Earl up the East Coast.  The play we took to EMACT earlier this summer was set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina…one of the scenes featured our race to get packed up and out of the cabin before the oncoming hurricane hit…wonder how […]
