Major Site Redesign
If you've visited this site before, you might notice that it looks a little different. Having realized I hadn't done any major design work on the site in 8 years, I recently revisited every detail on the site while also upgrading the platform to ASP.net.
Most content is the same, but changes beyond the overall look include:
- Many old photos (Les Mis, Miss Saigon, Martin Guerre) have been rescanned at larger image sizes
- 2 new articles linked to the press page.
- Reviewed all links, and removed broken ones
- Added an rss feed
Please
contact me if there are any problems. Compliments are also always welcome. ;)

Guestbook Update
Due to the fact that the guestbook was receiving an incredible amount of spam, it has been reprogrammed so that all entries are reviewed before they are posted live to the site. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but I will approve all legitimate entries as soon as humanly possible.
Also, I've done a little updating to the
Phantom page, and added a few more links at various pages on the site.

And a happy and healthy new year to all!

Site Redesigned
If you've been to the site before, you may notice that it has been revamped and redesigned. This website has evolved in the past 2+ years and so it made sense to work on reorganizing things; while doing so, I decided I might as well try something a bit different with the design. Hope everyone enjoys the new look!
Note- many of the file names have changed, so if you've bookmarked any pages other than the main page, you may have to update your bookmarks.

Oklahoma! Page Added

Miss Saigon Page Added
Added a page for
Miss
Saigon news and info; This page is now the page that is linked
to the "Current" link in the top menu, though the
Jane
Eyre page still exists. One of the features of the new page
is an interactive calendar applet with performance info. I admit there
really is little point to the applet other than the fact that I am
insanely proud of programming it myself and (finally) getting it to
work! :)

Photo Display Revamped
Happy New Years!
Changed the code on all of the photo pages since they were not
displaying correctly on Internet Explorer at high speed connections.
The full size photos are now visible only if you have a JavaScript
capable browser- this includes all recent versions of IE, Netscape
and AOL. If you have a problem viewing the photos, please let the
webmaster know
and a non-JavaScript version will be added.
