Very happy to share one of the best surprises of touring with Annie.
What started out as discovering our shared taste in music, grew into regular jam sessions of songs we love.
What’s next for The New Marshalls?
We had to say goodbye to Lexie today.
Many friends and family were lucky enough to meet Lexie over her near-17 years of life. I’m so glad for every person she got to meet.
She was always an odd duck.
Her first day at home, she couldn’t find grip or balance on the polished timber floors so she just slid around and fell under herself.
Before long though she found her feet, her back two in particular. Her way of expressing any excitement was to dance and tip toe on her back legs, often for incredible lengths of time.
To cope with being left home alone, she would find dirty laundry, or a recently worn shoe to bring to her bed and snuggle up so she could have our scent around. It wasn’t uncommon to come home and find the laundry basket tipped over when there was nothing more accessible around.
But maybe her oddest quirk was her ability to look at you and ask nothing of you. As if she was just observing your behavior the same way you would hers. Yes, sometimes the looks were loaded with a bit of “please don’t leave the house without me” or “are you finished eating that?”
Most of time though it was as simple as “I see you.” And there was something wonderful about that.
So thank you Lexie. Thank you for being a friend and companion to Caity & I for over half of our lives. We were so lucky to have you to grow up with and luckier still that mum and Neil could take such good care of you the whole way through. We’ll all miss you.
The Pajama Game was a hoot! Thank you @neglectedmusicals and this dream team for such a fun time. Incredible experience putting something together so quickly
It’s been so beautiful to share a piece of history with my Great Grandfather, Hector Alcock, here at the Princess Theatre over the last few months.
Dar (as I called him) was part of the Power House Dramatic Club whose proceeds supported Lord Somers Camp. They put on the play ‘Someone At The Door’ here in October, 1937 in which he also played the butler!
Dar was a career teacher so I never expected to find out we shared a stage interest, let alone a moment so similar to what I currently get to do.
