Mural Mania a Hoot!

Mural Mania, my new comedy, performed at the Edmonds Mural Society's First Annual Unveiling Gala, was a huuuuge success!  The wacky performances of New Classics favorite Lars Enden, alums Robin Strahan and Eileen McCann, and the New Classics debut of Catherine Bailey all hit the audiences' funny bone on target!  The idea of three hapless muralists at each other throats as a Mural Society board member tries to marshal them into collaborating on the raising of a mural went down as a hoot that night!

And most importantly, it put everyone in a festive mood as the real work of the evening began.  The raising of all that cash that shall raise our murals this summer.  I'm still waiting to hear the final numbers, but it appears that we raised all the cash we hoped to!


(Be gentle with me, though, if some unforeseen cost comes up...)

Regardless, we did well!  Very well!  And thank you, all of you for making this happen!  In particular, let us heap laurels on these following hardy souls of the Edmonds Mural Society Board (and, when you run into them next, be sure to bestow their cheeks with wet and gooey kisses!)...

• Tricia Thompson - media extraordinaire and tirelss work horse
• Shawn O'Connor - Tricia's sis and equally indefatigable worker
• Rebecca Anjewierden - board secretary and tracker down of glittering auction packages
• Pat Brier - muralist liaison and creator of one of the five murals being raised this summer

They have - we have - all done very, very well!  Go Edmonds!  Go Edmonds Mural Society!
