Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year!

Lacie was recently seen at the set of the amazing new band 'NewWorldSon' as a featured dancer in their 'Working Man' music video. The video was directed by Jon Grand of jonnygrandfilms and was filmed in HD. It was a fantastic day and there are some photos posted.

As soon as the video is released we will let you know!

Well this past Saturday I was able to attend a preview of Andrew Jackson: Good, Evil & The Presidency and I was amazed with what I saw. They only played 45 minutes of the 2 hour long documentary and it was fantastic!! The cinematography was beautiful, and it covered many fascinating (and historically correct) parts of the life of one of our greatest presidents. I am honored to be a part of this production and I can't wait to see it in it's entirety. And you can see it too! Mark your calendars on: Wednesday January 2nd at 9 PM est it will be airing nationwide! Check your local listings, set your Tivo and be prepared to enjoy a wonderful documentary.

Well it's been awhile since I have last updated but I assure you it has been worth the wait.

I am currently back in Montana for 3 weeks, and while I am up here I will be performing at "The Battle of The Little Bighorn" re-enactment in Custer, Montana Saturday June 23rd at 1:30 PM. It is a fantastic look back in history and offers an insightful glimpse into the Indians view of the Battle of The Little Bighorn also known as Custer's Last Stand.

Then I will be back in Covington by July the 12th to perform at The Covington Chamber Installation Banquet- it will be a 'Classic Broadway' reunion and there will be a Pasta Buffet served. The time is TBD and I will post it here as soon as it is finalized. You can read more fully about these shows by clicking on the 'Calendar' link.

And lastly the best news of all is July 16th I will be moving to Nashville to live there fulltime. This is a lifelong dream of mine and I am so very excited to have it come to pass. I am looking to start recording a demo and hit the beat and start playing as often as I can. The biggest difficulty will be in deciding where to start. *smile!*

I would like to thank all of the people who have signed the guestbook and signed up for the newsletter. I appreciate all of your support and I will keep you all posted with updates!

Lacie's had been kindly asked to be a promotional model for Peebles department store during Covington Tennessee's Women in Business annual luncheon. She will be modeling 3 different fashions showcasing Peeble's newest line of clothes.
The luncheon will be at 11:30 AM this Wednesday, April 25th.

Fantastic news- Lacie had just been cast in a commercial video promoting the lovely Rutherford County, Tennessee.
It is being filmed by Navigation Advertising LLC and developed for the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce.

Filming is next week so we will keep you posted.

I am finally back in Tennessee. *whew* The Montana trip lasted a bit longer then planned however it was great to be back west. The snow I already miss, but here in Tennessee spring has arrived. Beautiful 70-degree weather, flowers blooming, beautiful.

While I was 'vacationing' at home *laughs* I took several acting classes hosted by casting director Tina Buckingham, she is located in Bozeman, MT and was simply wonderful to work with. If you are in the area I can’t recommend her enough.
Other then that I kicked back, relaxed and watched the snow fall.
I wish. *laughs*
No in reality my family and I had a very busy Christmas, then finished packing up our home in Bozeman and did home repairs (I can stain doors & cabinets with the best of them I tell ya!) and got everything prepared so now I am 100% ready to be living in Tennessee fulltime. *yay!*

Well, I could never leave Montana never to return, (the most beautiful skies found anywhere & the best people and skiing *smile*) but now my home base in Tennessee. Spring has arrived and with it more opportunities. I know this year will be busier then the last- and I will keep you all posted!

Thank you all that keep visiting, I appreciate it!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…..
Yes I know it is a bit early but it is never too soon to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays! I would like to personally thank everyone who has visited the site, thank you all for the lovely comments in the guestbook, and thank you for your support!

Things are slow on the entertainment front, I have been taking a few classes, but I am enjoying the break and visiting with family and friends.
However, if you are looking for some entertaining reading check out The Weather Rock Report It has been giving daily reports of the weather (and some interesting comments on my family) at least through the holiday season.
Merry Christmas once again!

Well first off we finished the show and it went of great. The audience loved it- the new numbers fit in perfectly and everyone had a fun time.

The Millington/Tipton Appeal requested I write an article about being a director and as a laciemadison.com exclusive you can read the entire unedited article by clicking here. (Or checking out the "Press" Page)
You can see the shorter edited article (complete with great pictures!) on the Commercial Appeal Website by clicking here.

Thank you and have a great day!
We love to hear from you! Please take a minute to sign the guest book

Well here is the great news we have been hinting about. We couldn’t post it until everything was confirmed and now it is a go.
Classic Broadway has been invited to perform at the Millington Tennessee Civic Center October 27th and 29th!
We have received a wonderful welcome and much support from the Millington area and we can't wait to bring the show to them.
We will be adding some new things so even if you have seen it before- or missed it the first time around you can come out and see a great show!
Will have dates times and directions posted soon.
If you all have any questions or would like more info please don’t hesitate to email me.
Thanks and will keep you all updated!

I apologize for the late update- right after the show finished (it went great!) I went and took a short vacation to Branson, Mo. Had a blast- no phone no e-mail- just got back and I will update soon with more exciting news.

Note:If you are interested in coming to the show please check out the Calendar Link on your left. Complete information is posted there.
See you at the Show!
Well last weekend went great- biggest crowds so far- and the show is really fantastic. This weekend is our final weekend so if you haven't made it (Or would like to see it again!) be sure to come on out- we would love to see you there.

Last Saturday we went to Munford Days and my ever-dedicated cast handed out over 500 flyers (wearing formals in 102 degree heat no less) smiling the whole time. Also the Tipton Arts Council was kind enough to share some of their time on the 2 different stages so we had a chance to perform some songs from the show.

Things have been up and down- like today the first thing this morning a important local newspaper just forgot to place our ads, one of our signs disappeared and water was (again) leaking all over the theatre.
Then by this evening I spoke with another newspaper that was supportive and fantastic, read a nice review on the show, 3 different people raved about the show to someone other then me (smile) the sign was found and is being repaired and so is the leak, by the behind the scenes knight in shining armor Rob W.
And that is just a glimpse into 1 day of putting on a show.

However the response from people who have came to the show has been wonderful. That is the best compliment of all.

Anyway- final weekend coming up will keep you all posted!
Thank you all who have stopped by and I would love if you would take a moment to sign the guestbook.

Well opening night was last night and though the crowd was small the show was fantastic! The cast was great and had a fantastic time- we had a few technical glitches but that is what makes opening night so unique. *smile*

Everyone really seemed to enjoy the show- "The theatre looks great"
"The show was fantastic"
"I can't believe this was in Covington!"
were just some of the great compliments said after the show.

If anyone has any suggestions for how to better get the word out- feel free to let me know.

Thanks to everyone who has came so far. 8 more shows to go, see you there!

First off I would like to thank the Covington Leader for the great article in the paper today. You can read it by clicking here. One thing they didn't mention however is all of the cleaning we have done to the theatre. We have been cleaning and repairing everything we can before Showtime tonight.
The carpets have been cleaned, the auditorium has been swept, mopped, scrubbed and wetvaced.
The carpets, bathrooms, front lobby and front of the building has been cleaned.
Pretty much if we could find it- we cleaned it.
The theatre is smelling much better now (a major problem before)
Lights, curtains, bathroom fixtures have all been repaired or replaced (we have a new popcorn machine also! Thanks to Mr. Tim Slone) and we are hoping *crosses fingers* that next week we may have 2 more working bathrooms.
We have only had five days so far at the theatre to do all of this- and we will be working on it as the show progresses also- so the theatre will definitely not be the same as it was.

Anyway- opening night is later today so wish us all luck!

A few more days have gone by- have made it into the theatre. There is quite a bit of cleaning that need to be done, and some repairs- but it is going to look great. (or at least better. *smile*) I have my backstage, ticket and concession personnel, now all I need is a lighting and sound tech.
(If you are in the Covington area and might be interested in helping out with the show contact me asap. Thanks!)
Talking with the radio and local papers, designing playbills, practicing, getting together a set and costumes and many other different things. 12 days to go.

Keep checking back for more updates.
Thanks!

Well it has been a little over a week (only 2 to go!) and things have been falling into place rapidly.
Music is here, Posters have been printed, Tickets are on their way, and I have a cast.
Eric Pilkington, Paige Koneski, Paden Pierry, Amy Bragg and myself.
All are superb singers and entertainers and have willing agreed to learn what normally takes 8 weeks in less then 3. They are a talented group- I am enjoying working with them immensely, now I am off to do some of the other 3000 things before opening night!

Lacie is proud to announce she will making her directorial debut with "Classic Broadway" A Broadway Musical Revue.
It is a show that will feature Classic songs (and a few great undiscovered gems) with the common tie of all coming from Broadway Musicals.
As of this posting opening night is only 23 nights away.
The reason for the short notice is the venue was available in September or we would have had to wait until November.
It's gonna be a fast ride!
I will keep you posted with the progress of the show.

Well the Colgate Country Showdown is over- and congratulations to Luci Porter who won!
Jimmy Hicks (From q93.5) put on a great show, so thanks to all.

No new gigs- but there are some new projects on the horizon. Will keep you posted!
