24: A Year of New Beginnings
June 8, 2010 · Posted by The Winger ·
Hi readers! Please forgive me for not posting as frequently has I had promised. I have been very busy out here on the road but am determined to do more blogging!
I’ve recently celebrated my birthday! Two weeks ago I turned 24 years ‘mature’, as I like to say. Birthdays and New Years Eve are two very sentimental days for me, filled with lots of reflection, prayer of thanksgiving for life and all of its obstacles, moments to rejoice and blessings while also praying with thanksgiving for the future. I had the wonderful opportunity of being able to celebrate my “Year ...
The Power of Passion and Perseverance

I auditioned for my current role in Wicked about 9 or 10 times. Honestly, I lost count after about the 8th time. But it was over the course of a few years. I was first introduced to Wicked during my senior year of high school when it first opened on Broadway. I had seen clips on You Tube and heard about the production, but it wasn’t until the end of my sophomore year of college that I decided to audition. I will never forget my first audition. I went into the waiting room and there were about 100 other guys practicing ...
Introducing Jeremy McQueen
May 9, 2010 · Posted by The Winger ·
One warm summer day in San Diego, my Mom took me to the San Diego Civic Theater to see a touring production of the Broadway hit, The Phantom of the Opera. At the young age of 8, I knew nothing about musical theater besides the Disney movie musicals I had seen on television and the few acting classes I had taken with a local children’s theater group. As we entered the grand theater with thousands of plush red seats, I was enthralled with the beauty and festiveness of this new experience. Everyone was dressed eloquently in semi-formal attire, including me ...

i’ve been in Orlando, FL since Tuesday. Business. i’ve tried to eat right (yeah, right!) with no grocery store, no car, no cooking space and nothing but chain food places. Coffee & smokes? Plenty.
But tonight i decided, what the hell? i’m going to be “normal” and go out for a dinner/dessert splurge. Where? Well it was a toss up. Chili’s? TGIFriday’s? Sonny’s BBQ? Tony Roma’s Ribs/Seafood/Steaks? Denny’s? ………………wow.
After a few phone calls for recommendations, Chili’s won. i can’t why exactly but it came down to something like….”they’re all basically the same and the next place on the main drag as i’m walking ...

“King of all Nutcrackers”?
December 7, 2009 · Posted by The Winger ·
I’m running errands about town and happened to chance upon this.
According to its inscription:
“This Nutcracker is believed to be the King of all Nutcrackers. Found in Saragosa during the 17th century, it is the oldest Nutcracker ever discovered.”
(Marquis Lorenzo Leonard)
So functional, non?

New York Diary; (Final Entry, in which Deb has several happy reunions and bids the city farewell ’til next summer)
October 8, 2009 · Posted by A Little Tea or Something ·
Dear Diary,
In an earlier post I told you that my tenure in New York City was punctuated several times by visits with some dear friends, so now I would like to share those happy moments. (This, by the way, is the building at 890 Broadway, where ABT has its offices and studios, and where I studied for seven days.)
First, I had made plans weeks before my trip to reconnect with my former performing arts school roommate, Sophia Fatouros; currently Dance Director at the Harlem School of the Arts, she has lived and worked in the city for many years now.
In ...
