Not only is September back to school month (three cheers for Kindergarten!), it’s also Back 2 Broadway Month.  So let’s get to it!
Lots of great activities going on so grab your calendar, book the babysitter/dogsitter whatever, and get your bootie to Times Square!

I survived my first Blogger conference and it wasn’t a precious mommy blogger meeting at a Days Inn in Philly.  Nope.  It was BlogHer.  Go big or go home is my life’s mantra.

Aaaahh, it’s August.  Time to light the corners of my sleep-deprived mind with something other than the return of  the delightful train wreck that is “Jersey Shore.”  Yes, these corners of my mind’s sky are lit with memories of summer stock adventures.　The New York Times recently shared a photo roll of reader photos and commentary [...]

I’m thrilled to introduce you to one of my favorite hangouts on the web for theatre-lovers — MTIShowspace: Where Theatre People Click!  (How clever is that tag line?)  Beginning this month, I’ll be writing for Music Theatre International, a terrific organization that runs this social media site.  It’s like Facebook for theatre lovers!

NEW CHALLENGE:
If you dress  your kid up like Phantom from Phantom of the Opera and you  send a photo to me for publication, [...]

Now that summer’s kicked into gear I can truly start to relax again and resume my New Year’s resolution to appreciate funny. 
God bless funny.  Save  blog-gold from two of my favorite funny ladies, Wendi Aarons and Ann Imig (seriously, subscribe to their blogs — you’ll be glad you did), everything from the Broadway season (way too much [...]

So that kid of yours has just gotta be the next Billy Elliot on Broadway or maybe your adorable Mackensee wants to be the next Little Cosette at your local theatre group?  The Mama Rose Files will help you be the best Stage-Mama you can be.
