I have not been in a theatrical production since my college years. I was active in drama, chorus and musical theater during high school. I had the experience of being assistant director for our college production of Pal Joey, which included a local newscaster and some community theater actors. Since then I have been a registered nurse for 40 years, more than 20 of them at the bedside. I have been adjunct clinical faculty and a nursing education specialist. I also raised 2 girls, was married to a professional musician for 10 years and occasionally performed with him. Recently I was asked to participate on a focus group about Maine politics. It was aired on YouTube.
