What’s a good book? Riding in Cars with Boys By: Beverly Donofrio Easy, page-turning memoir. Beautiful vehicle (see what SHE did there??!!) and a lovely story about finding yourself and what you believe about your choices in life. #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

Had fun at the 1776 gala last night. Heard a snippet from the show—should be a good production at the end of June in Scranton!

Thinking of starting a theatre company? We have you covered. Adam Wassilchalk’s Spring 2026 feature breaks down key steps, considerations, and advice from new companies’ founders. 

It applies to too many situations from the past.

This Sunday in Scranton! #scrantonpa

My earworm for the day. Who knows Love?? youtu.be/cPbNpIG8x_s?...

That one time when the first full-length I wrote was performed. Pockets Diva Theater Scranton PA 2022 #throwbackthursday #theatrethursday

No rest for the weary. The quest to be a director of a full-length continues! Started this one today and already 70 pages in—if anyone’s looking for a good theatre read. #readanythingreadeverything

I can’t get enough of this song it seems. Had it on repeat last night on the way home from rehearsal. Just heard it again. Must be some kind of sign. youtu.be/9QYk1E8zdxU?...

That time I was the Kentucky Derby for the holiday party as Kindness in the play I co-wrote: Inconveniences. Diva Theatre Scranton, PA 2024 #throwbackthursday #theatrethursday

We open for preview night tomorrow! If you’re in Scranton, come join us for some fun and some frights! 🐦‍⬛ 👻 🕯️ #supportlocaltheatre

@hookandquillpress.com has a new work coming out from @professoremily.bsky.social that I was privileged to read as an ARC. Compelling story of an island in trouble and two kids who fall in love. Or is there something more to them? Great read! #fivestars #hookandquillpress #godsofatalantis

Backyard #bunny, baby.

What’s a good book? A Head Full of Ghosts. Loved the heel turn I didn’t see coming. Love the P.S. too. Its allusions sing to my little nerdy heart. Thank you @paultremblay.bsky.social for my favorite book so far this year. #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

What’s a good book? Nick Cutter’s The Queen. Body horror at its peak. And so many bugs. #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

Excited and proud to share this little local theater award for my one act I wrote: A Crooked Line. So much credit goes to the cast, director, and a big thank you to Diva Theater for giving it a place to come to life!

Don’t miss the Diva Theater production of Extremities later this month in Scranton, PA. If dark dramas are your thing—this will be the one to see. #extremities #divatheaterscranton #supportlocaltheatre

Sweetie Siv.

Goldfinches at our feeder yesterday. Hope you have a good day.

What’s a good book? Burn the Place by Lane (Iliana) Regan. For foodies. For foragers. For fighters. #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

#throwbackthursday #theatrethursday Acting and Writing for Battle of the Bards My play: Grand Opening! Scranton PA 2024

What’s a good book? Nat Cassidy’s perimenopausal horror, Mary: An Awakening of Terror. Trust me, even if a man wrote it—it’s truth. And terrifying. Why isn’t there a holiday for middle age? #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

Didn’t write much at writers group today, but I still wrote notes. Anything is progress right? Even plotting? #justwrite

On a new theatre journey, preparing to direct my first full-length show this fall. My first research read was W.A. Gregory’s The Director. Got some good tips and was glad that a lot of the instincts I already had were reiterated here. On to the next directing read! #booksky #theatrebooks

#throwbackthursday #theatrethursday Another Day at the Lab By Michael Pavese Diva Theater Scranton, PA 2018

Honored to be playing Madeline Usher in this new adaptation of the Poe story, written to honor the late, super great Dominick Azzarelli. If you knew him, you’ll see it’s made for him 100%. We open April 30 at Actors Circle in #ScrantonPA #edgarallanpoe #fallofthehouseofusher #supportlocaltheatre

I recently popped in to the Freakquels Podcast again. Rory, EJ, and I had a great time with John Carpenter’s Big Trouble in Little China! I’m also on episodes 37 (Ginger Snaps) and 94 (Slither). Find them wherever you get your podcasts! #freakquels

I keep missing #theatrethursday so here is #Sam instead.

I feel this. #readanythingreadeverything #booksky

Nothing like some Sunday rage baking. Luckily, our friends’ twins have their birthday tomorrow, so the boys benefit! #chocolatepeanutbuttercandycake

Don’t like when a favorite playlist takes you down a sad, dark path unexpectedly. Did not want to go there tonight.

“We don’t really read literature. We only read ourselves, and each new book is another chapter.” What’s a good book? Jillian Keenan’s Sex with Shakespeare. The newest chapter for my life. #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

Just finished Mary Zimmerman’s Argonautika this morning. I think I need to direct a play with puppets. Not all puppets. But puppets. #readanythingreadeverything #justreadplays

What’s a good book? Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe. About The Troubles in the North of Ireland. Much to do with the Price sisters, Brendan Hughes, and Gerry Adams. Fascinating read. #fivestars #books #booksky #goodbooks #readanythingreadeverything

She is funny. She is feisty. She is friendly. She is farty. #Freja #catsofbluesky
