SUPER! Fabulous! Incredible! Awesome! The Best Retirement Party Ever! Out of this World! These are a sample of the comments that SUPERFAN heard and verbalized throughout the night of this fantastic event at the Pentacle Theatre. The Great American Trailer Park Musical performance was one of my favorite theater experiences of all time! The actors and team told me that YOU all were the most SUPER audience of the run! Thank you to YOU-- my friends, my patients, and my Pentacle T

The Louisville Slugger Museum and Bat Factory SUPERFAN became a SUPERFAN of Louisville, KY. The complexity of recovery from burnout and all the details and even battles associated with insurance, pension, and previous employment have kept me away from iamsuperfan.com . I continue to progress in my recovery with support of Lovie, my family and friends, Western and Complementary Medicine, EMDR psychotherapy, iamsuperfan.com and you my superfandom tribe! During this active exhau

Pentacle Theatre's MAMMA MIA! was a smash hit in Salem, OR! SUPERFAN was thrilled to be a part of this historic run of 19 sold out shows in 24 days. Closing night was a rocking dance party show that was followed by an after-party at Venti's Restaurant and then an after-after party at our home. I wish I could devote an entire post to each and every person involved in this fabulous production. Professionalism was EVERYWHERE and in EVERYONE! Superfan closing night "MAMMA MIA!

SUPERFAN is soaring back to earth in MAMMA MIA! at Pentacle Theatre in Salem, Oregon! Entering closing weekend, I am fascinated with my new relationships. I am privileged to have more than 45 new friends who have come together as a close family. Actor-Actor (A-A), Character-Character (C-C), and Cast Member-Production Team (CM-PT) relationships have worked together to launch my first iamSUPERFAN.com adventure to amazing heights. Thank you to director Robert Salberg, and EVERY

The performance portion of my participatory journalism project is at the 1/2 way mark! SUPERFAN is an actor, in MAMMA MIA! at Pentacle Theatre in Salem, Oregon, directed by Robert Salberg (the object of my SUPERFANDOM for over 10 years) and Jill Sorensen (we go way back also). I see professionalism all around me. EVERYONE on this Cast gives EVERYTHING, EVERY single night. This is a reflection of the fabulous talent pool we have, and also our professional-level production team

This is the Tuesday after opening weekend of MAMMA MIA! at Pentacle Theatre, Salem, OR. SUPERFAN had to wait until today to write this blog entry because after opening Friday night followed by a Saturday night show, and then a Sunday matinee, I took yesterday to come back to earth--SUPERFAN was flying high! Because I play two different characters, my preparation starts at 4 hours before show time--at 3:30 pm each show day. It is at this time, I start the metamorphosis into th

My participatory Journalism project has moved from fantasy to the stage--tonight is opening night of MAMMA MIA! at Treasure of Salem, OR, Pentacle Theatre! I find myself enjoying every part of the process including "Mic Check". My favorite song this week is Lay all Your Love on Me. Our Sky, Dylan Bauman, has a beautiful voice; he captured me the first time I heard him do this number at an early rehearsal! I find myself still having the SUPERFAN persona during times when I off

We FANS have FANtasies. I dream of performing as a rock star, acting on stage, or hitting a homerun in the World Series. As a child, I read the book Paper Lion by George Plimpton. The author detailed his experiences going through NFL training camp, and actually playing a series as quarterback in a preseason game. This book fueled my SUPERFAN spirit and stimulated many fantasies. George Plimpton became a well known journalist and did participatory journalism—competing in profe
