Hi I am MK 07/30/2009
 
  Hi there!
I'm MK Piatkowski, Artistic Director of  one big umbrella. I'm a blogger, Facebook addict (it's always good to acknowledge these things), Twitter newbie, and information sponge, I'm a swing dancer, karaoke queen, frequent theatregoer, writer, and artistic supporter, I'm also Sondheim in September's Assistant Director and internet marketing guru.

I blame Warren Kimmel.

See, Warren's a charmer. He oozes authenticity and good humour. He's earnest. He sings like an angel. And when he's wearing his glasses he's got that whole sexy intellectual thing going on. So when he said he had a project he wanted me to be a part of, how could I possibly resist?

So here I am. Things are still being firmed up but what I've seen so far is pretty exciting. And what we've got planned for this blog is exciting too. Behind the scenes peeks, interviews with Peter and Warren, rehearsal updates and interesting facts about Sondheim, his shows and the performers participating, as well as anything else that strikes us at the time.
With that in mind, I'd like to draw your attention to a wonderful article in the Toronto Star about Thom Allison. I had the pleasure of seeing him earlier this year in Dreamgirls at The Grand Theatre in London. He's fantastic. He's a fellow blogger. And he's one of the wonderful talents who will be performing for your pleasure. (Here I must put in the standard caveat that all is subject to change. Broadway could come calling, for instance.)

As the internet guru, you'll be seeing a lot of me around cyberspace in the next little while. Don't be shy about starting up a conversation. I want to make these shows a one-of-a-kind experience for you.

Until next time,
MK

It's not just me. The general consensus around FOH is that you're much sexier with the glasses.

A surprisingly accurate description of Warren. Wait, did I just admit that...
