Hello,
Keeping very busy here in NYC, commuting back and forth from Stamford, CT working on Always, Irving Berlin. I am having a fantastic time with a wonderful cast and a very talented director! We are telling the stories of our immigrant parents, grandparents, etc...with Irving Berlin songs. It has really been exciting, delving into the past of my family to find out all the anecdotes that make up who we are. I think the show will be great and I do hope you all can make it out to Stamford to see it.I also had the pleasure of performing at the BMI Workshop again last night, this time for the very talented writing team of Jared Dembowski, Lisa Bradlow and Jennifer Lapidus. I sang a song from their Frankie and Johnny musical, which has a great deal of potential.I was also thrilled to be able to perform their songs along with my very talented friends, Scott Coulterand Daisy Eagan. Scott will be performing on Monday and Tuesday at Don't Tell Mama's on 46th Street, in a revue of music by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, 2 VERY gifted writers and some of my favorite people as well. For more info on this performance, email marcyandzina@aol.com
I hope you are all staying cool if you are in this rather muggy-for-the-season NYC. Be well!
Love, Jamie

Hi!
I hope everyone is doing very well. It's been such a strange time in NYC for me. Currently I am in the midst of an apartment hunt, at the same time as being cast in a new revue of Irving Berlin Music at Stamford Theatre Works click on the link for more information. The revue is called Always Irving Berlin and will be playing for two weeks in June in Stamford, CT. I hope to see some of you there. I've also been very busy singing songs for the BMI Workshop. As always, I've been working on Archie's Girls, and next week I'll be singing a song from a musical based on Frankie & Johnny in the Claire de Lune. I really enjoy working with these new composers...it's very exciting to be seeing and working directly with the people who will be shaping the American Musical Theatre in coming generations. There's a wonderful spirit within the group and it always invigorates me in my own life and career, and constantly reminds me why I've chosen to do this with my life. Anyway...I hope you're all well...My total for AIDS Walk fundraising is about $500...feel free to keep the donations coming in. Just visit AIDS Walk New York to sponsor me for the walking I've already done.Thanks!
Love, Jamie

Hey there,
It's been a while...I had a wonderful time performing in the Easter Bonnet Compeition. It was kind of a dream come true. There's actually a photo of Brian D'Arcy James and I'm right behind him singin' away! I've been busy with auditions here and there and doing some more performing at the BMI Workshop with Emily Jenkins and Tony Sheittinger (Archie:The Musical), and Mary Feinsinger (Out West). I'm continuing work on Knight Hunters as well. I believe the 3rd Volume is due in stores within the next few weeks, so I hope you all enjoy that! I'll be a special guest this summer at The Big Apple Anime Fest, here in NYC www.bigappleanimefest.org. I hope you are all doing well. I will be participating in the NY AIDSWALK here in NYC this Sunday, May 19th I will update this when i figure out how you can sponsor me via the web.Love, Jamie
