Be Brave, Anna!

Aug. 15 - Aug. 23

Featuring its all-star original cast, this critically acclaimed French-style melodrama by genius Brown alum Tara Schuster tells the sordid, morbid, heartwarming and heartbreaking saga of one Anna Nicole Smith; her meteoric rise to fame, her tragic downfall, and most importantly her all-American reality television dream! Last produced at Brown University in October of 2007, "Anna!" played to packed houses and screaming, swooning fans, and this brand new production, directed by genius Brown alum James Rutherford, promises nothing less.

Moving Up!

For those of you that haven’t seen an episode of MOVING UP…

The show follows a chain of new homeowners, who moved into one another’s homes and begin the design and renovation process. Lucky girl & friend, Kira Delgado purchased a home in Fairless Hills, PA, and part of the package was to be on this show. The former owners had won the lottery and moved to a bigger home. The episode, THE LOTTERY WINNERS, has already aired. But, I’m sure they’ll repeat it on TLC.

A Very Tuscan Wedding

Former colleague, Stephanie Shaddock's wedding has been featured on http://portovert.com/. The wood-burning pen could be the coolest idea ever. Friend and colleague, Ali Jeffery, designed the invitations for this beautiful event as well.

Feed 100

Whole Foods Market teamed up with Select Design, one of the vendors that I work with, to produce the FEED 100 Bag to Feed Hungry School Children in Rwanda. Each one purchased provides 100 Nutritious Meals for hungry school children in Rwanda through the United Nation World Food Program's School Feeding Program.

Designed solely for Whole Foods Market, the FEED 100 reusable bag is made of organic cotton and natural burlap and is produced with a commitment to ensuring fair treatment of workers, livable wages, paid overtime and safe and clean working environments. It is a lightweight, fresh white tote that collapses easily into its base, which is a zippered rectangular burlap pouch emblazoned with the FEED logo and the number 100.

This bag is only $29.99 & can be purchased at Whole Foods Market.
