The interview was really great. Dallyn Bayles was so upbeat and gracious, I think to every one of my questions he responded with, "That's a really good question." And even though he made a living in the entertainment industry, particularly an industry that rewards a musical like "The Book of Mormon," he kept his standards and his dignity. And he shows it is possible for someone to be a faithful Latter-day Saint and still make it big on Broadway.

For my second story, I wrote about another SCERA production. This one is a kid's play about American tall tales like Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed. I didn't know how the story would turn out, but the actor playing Paul Bunyan gave some funny quotes. I think the story turned out to be one of my best for the Herald.

And, the briefs:
Arts briefs: Viva el baile!
Sound briefs: From sea to shining sea
Sound Hot Ticket: Pour some Philharmonic on me (I love this headline)
Perfect Date: Unlock the 'Secret' (A recap of the same "Secret Garden" play I wrote about before)
