The resemblance is astounding

One of the great byproducts of Striking 12 getting licensed here and there, is that occasionally we get to meet people who played us.
Val and I are trading off for two weeks, with one of us working on Toy Story The Musical on site in Anaheim while the other stays home and takes the kid [...]

Anywhere near Birmingham, AL? Check out STRIKING 12 at BSC, Nov 19-22

We’ve just been notified that Birmingham-Southern College will be producing STRIKING 12 this season, with 12 actors + 6 onstage musicians.
