It is said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. I’m sure we can all think of organizations and groups, and even individuals that have done terrible things with the best of intentions. On the other hand, I’m not sure where the road paved with donuts goes, but it isn’t hell. Every year in the United States we have National Donut Day on the first Friday in June (June 5, this year). Often this is celebrated by eating an (often free) donut, but the origin of donut day goes back to th...

There is nothing better than when children's books come to life onstage! The story is loving, the songs and harmony show stopping, and the sentiment – well, bring a tissue, you are going to need one. It all began with a book about Maryann Cocca-Leffler's experience in first grade when she told her first grade classmates that my father owned the Coca-Cola Company, (he didn't!). Based on the idea that a tiny lie can grow into a big problem, she developed a story about a little girl who wants so m...
