About barnabee

 See my Member Profile

I'm a writer with a solid grounding in theatre and film. I love history and I am especially focused on the 19th and 20th centuries.

I've written everything from Web copy, to lines for mechanical mice (Spice Mice), to planetarium shows to plays.

I am also a teacher and I am very lucky because I get to do what I love. I work and teach in the theatre, direct plays, act, and write. It's fun work.

Bloging is a fine way to get something out to a large community of interested and active readers, thinkers, and writers.

No, my name is not barnabee, but I know him well.
