Welcome

Well, here it is, folks--by popular demand: the first blog post. Many of you encouraged me to start a blog about my career and projects. In addition to news about upcoming performances, you may be subjected to occasional musings about theatre and music and life.

Right now, I'm deep into rehearsals for a benefit concert on January 30th of Oscar Hammerstein II lyrics for Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities in North Carolina www.weymouthcenter.org.

MORGAN SILLS sings OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II lyrics

Saturday, January 30, 2010 at Weymouth Center for the Arts and Humanities

555 E. Connecticut Avenue, Southern Pines, NC 28387

Reservations (strongly recommended): (910) 692-6261

Seats are selling very briskly, and the Johnny Mercer evening we did at Weymouth in 2008 was sold out with some people turned away (!), so if you're going, please call and make a reservation.

An all new show is hard work. There are a lot of songs I've always known but never performed before. Delving into these lyrics and making them work acting-wise and musically is very rewarding.

I may also include the occasional quote on this blog, as I seem to find good quotes everywhere. Hopefully, it won't be TOO much like "Deep Thoughts".

Today's quote:

"You can't give them your heart if it's not there." -- Al Jolson to Betty Hutton
