We’ve all experienced some pretty weird things when it comes to medical issues. My acting troupe, “The Jewels of deNial,” has recently combined their talents to create this next episode of our radio show called, “Medical Mishaps.” The collaboration of events in all of our own lives have melded into a really funny skit, including being on a ward as a patient, waiting in the ER, all the necessary medical forms to be filled out and a plethora of other things we must laugh at to get through.
The entire purpose of our shows is to demonstrate that life doesn’t have to be a bowl of cherry pits. We still have opportunities to laugh at ourselves and even lighten up some of those very situations. Agomg doesn’t have to be the end for any of us. We can continue to live, even through the dark times, when we maintain our sense of humor. Today we debut this episode at our home theatre. Northern Starz Theatre Company has been a real blessing for me. After retiring from a very long career of teaching drama, costuming countless shows, writing just as many and herding kids onto stage, I felt a real void in my life. There’s something about the theatre that gets into your blood, just like any of the arts do. I found this little theatre nearby and discovered a real gem while doing so. I became involved and so did some of my friends and my granddaughter. It became a haven for using some of my gifts that weren’t yet ready to retire. I don’t think they ever will. In fact, I fully expect to be doing this on the other side of eternity. When it comes to casting, I won’t have to look far for a John the Baptist or Simon Peter. They’ll be right there.
Back down to earth, the little community theatre, Northern Starz, is truly dedicated to the community. They include everyone from the very young to us old fogies and those with special needs. They offer something for everyone. So, I will be breaking legs for some time to come as I continue to be afforded my love of theatre and for as long as God wants me to serve Him on this planet.

We’re trying to make this eventually go national -probably not during my lifetime though. There is a whole population of over 55 people who need this kind of activity.

Our second son being born would make a skit all on its own. From being late getting back to the office to find my staff had uncorked the Champaigne without letting me know to the nurse pulling me down the hall screaming that I was going to miss the whole thing, shouldering the door open to find a strange couple in the room and the nurse screaming “Wrong Delivery Room!!” The stuff in between was funny too.

I love it. Ours has me pressing my medical alert button y falling on it, summoning help and being transported by ambulance to the hospital.since I can’t afford medical help they put me in a ward with 3 women who might be from “One Flee Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” There are lots and f laughs throughout and it was a big hit. We can all relate.
