An unforgetable theater experience.


I attended  Rope The Musical, a play about a man and a woman at the end of their rope. Mark Sickman, who wrote the book and the lyrics, captured a common problem   of what many couples  face when they approach retirement -  different dreams.
Rope deals with this issue touching the extreme ends of the emotional spectrum with song and exceptional acting. Rope was  truly a  great theater experience with a satisfying and unexpected conclusion. Mark Sickman you rock!!

The Music by the Mystery Mountain Boys and the musical Director Josh Weinstein, wrapped this play up in a beautiful and moving package.

Already with sold out performances, be sure to purchase your tickets for Rope The Musical, which will be playing through April 3rd at the Tenth Avenue Arts Center in San Diego, Ca.

And while you are there, get the best hamburger in Diego at Hodads, a hole in the wall restaurant on the corner, which is, always crowded with locals and theatergoers.

Back in California! From San Diego To Ontario, CaLIfornia

Back in California!
 From San Diego to Ontario, California
Tenth Ave Arts Center & The Auto Club Speedway

GET READY AND GET SET!!
I met Mark a few years ago at an FMCA RV Rally when he attended one of my writing workshops. After the attending my seminar and after reading my first book, COAST TO COAST WITH A CAT AND A GHOST, Mark submitted a raving review to the Road Trek Magazine.
 
 Now Mark Sickman has his own amazing accomplishment, ROPE THE MUSICAL, opening at the Tenth Avenue Arts Center in San Diego . I am so  excited to  see the play.
 
 
 
March 17th thru April 3rd. Two showings are already sold out. So get your tickets now. ROPE THE MUSICAL
 
 The Story?  A western and a comedy.
The ultimate Old West showdown … this time between a man and his wife. Respected hangman William Maledon wants to retire. His spouse Mildred, who enjoys the notoriety of being “the hangman’s wife,” resists. They clash. Maledon is at peace. Mildred is enraged. She takes actions that assure she will remain in the spotlight. High Noon meets Virginia Woolf … and it’s all done to music.
 
 



If the theater is not your forte … and even if it is …MIX IT UP!










AND GO!!!!!



Come to the Auto Club Speedway and sign up with me to participate in the The Mario Andretti Racing Experience.   I will be celebrating my 70th birthday and checking this thrill ride off of my bucket list.





The Andretti Qualifier is voted the most popular racing experience.  I will drive an Indy-style racecar for an 8 minute timed racing session on the speedway. Every minute counts in this amazing experience!





Mark your calendars! Start your engines!! On April 17th.  Join me and feel the thrill!  Or just cheer me on!
