Take a load off your holiday shopping and running around and get back to laughing!

Here is Mrs. J singing The Auctioneer – always a great way to get perspective.

Lori had a wonderful time last week as a guest lecturer at Carl Menninger’s The Business of Acting class at American University in Washington, DC.

Lori and Carl have co-authored a textbook for young actors, Minding the Edge: Strategies for a Fulfilling, Successful Career as an Actor  (Waveland Press, 2011).
Here is a LINK to an interview Carl had with AU about the book.

Ticket Information

Hey, it’s spring and it’s about time! Hope you’re enjoying the new season.  Sometimes when I need to have a quick pick-me-up, I let one of my alter-egos take center stage – here she is – Mrs. J. singing “The Auctioneer Song”

Wishing everyone a fabulous, prosperous and healthy 2011.

Check out the new web series,  “Roy Orbison: This Is It”.  Roy has been in a coma all these years and his sloshed and spoiled daughter (played by Lori Hammel) brings home yet another young suitor, causing havoc in the tumultuous rock and roll dynasty that is Roy Orbison.  Will Roy awaken?  Watch and see.

“Roy Orbison: This Is It”

Here is a lovely little film starring Kate Katcher, Don Striano & Lori Hammel. It’s part of their “Husband & Wife” series.
