Happy Friday! Who/what are are you celebrating today?

I'm celebrating Risa Hoag.Risa Hoag has more than 35 years of experience in public relations and marketing. Prior to founding GMG Public Relations in 1991, she was a Director of Public Relations with Ernst & Young with responsibility for media placement, writing feature articles and press releases, developing and coordinating special events, market research, and the design and placement of advertising. In 1991 she started Global Marketing Group which was eventually renamed GMG Public Relations.

I celebrate Michael Colby whose recent one night presentation of Mrs. McThing got a rave review from Marilyn Lester on Theatre Pizzazz. I hear that it will be presented again as part of Urban Stages #WinterRhythms

(You can learn more about Risa and Michael by checking out the conversations I had with both on Richard Skipper Celebrates on YouTube. They are always ON DEMAND).

I'm also celebrating Linda Purl today in anticipation of her upcoming concert with Billy Stritch this Sunday at 7PM at Birdland Theater. I think a few tickets are still available. I, for one, would love to see you there!

To learn more about that concert, please tune in this afternoon at 5PM ET

You can help us celebrate today even more by LIKING this post, COMMENTING, and SHARING! It's all about engagement.

Today, please commit to supporting your fellow artists by doing the same thing with their posts and HIDING the negative posts. Together, we can make this a better world. Please pay it forward...
