My latest show LITTLE WOMEN


Little Women, the Broadway Musical opened at Palo Alto Players in Palo Alto this past weekend. It is a must see for this cast alone. I had a great time directing the show and it is absolutely charming. The photo is of Marmee and the girls. 10 Actors and an orchestra of the same size perform the show in Mary Craven's costumes on Kuo-Hao Lo's fantastic set under Jim Gross's beautiful lights. Stage Manager Allison Stamm runs a tight ship and the show is just delightful, if I do say so myself. But don't just take it from me. Check out these reviews! The cast is terrific.

Jenny Giocomo Visits in September

My sister, Jenny, came for a visit to see Insignificant Others, to play a bit of tourist and have fun. We had a ball. We saw the show at Zeum a couple of times, we got 4th row center tickets to see Sweeney Todd and that was a great experience. Had dinner one at at John's Grill (the Dashiel Hammet/Maltese Falcon place).
We had brunch with our friend, Alvin, at one of our favorite spots - the Clement Street Bar and Grill and we had a little intimate soiree of just us four at Alvin's later that evening and we got Jenny to sing and Alvin and I played some really funny schlocky piano duets.
A good time was had by all. Jenny's hoping to make this an annual visit and we say here here to that! (or is it hear hear?) Enjoy these fun photos of us around town in San Francisco.


There we are at Alvin's Jenny, Rob and I flopped on Alvin's couch!
