March 2024 Features
The Legend of Georgia McBride, Music Theatre of Connecticut, Norwalk, CT, USA
Performances
Georgia McBride at MTC
The Legend of Georgia McBride at the Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) in Norwalk, Connecticut is proof that life does not always follow our carefully designed plans. When Casey, an Elvis impersonator at a down-and-out bar in Florida, played with great aplomb by Clint Hromsco, finds himself soon to be out of a job with a wife and a baby on the way, he is forced to make a career decision when the bar becomes a drag show club. The result is downright hilarious at times as Miss Tracy Mills, played to perfection by Russell Saylor, coaches Casey into his new role as a drag queen, yet the play goes deeper than the surface and provides glimpses into the multi-layered lives of the people behind the drag. Directed by Kevin Connors, rounding out the impressive cast are Diva Lamarr as Rexy/Jason, Teagan La'Shay as Jo, and Scott Mikita as Eddie, the club owner.

PepperMate Pepper Mill

PepperMate Traditional Pepper Mill Black
We admit it, we love fresh ground cracked black pepper and use it on, and in, everything we eat or cook. While we love grinding our own black pepper, our challenge has been to find the perfect pepper mill. Throughout the years we have accumulated a diverse collection of pepper mills in all sizes, shapes, and materials, and in all price ranges. While perfectly fine to use tableside, using them for cooking purposes presented more of a challenge when we wanted more finely ground black pepper. When we recently "discovered" the PepperMate Pepper Mill, we found it to be the perfect pepper mill solution.
