#POTD: Portrait of the Day, Legend Patricia Morison

The entertainment world celebrates the life and passing of Broadway legend Patricia Morison, who passed yesterday, May 20, 2018.

I was fortunate enough in 2014 to have briefly met Ms Morison and have her light shine in front of my lens.

Portrait of the Day: Karen Mason

This past Saturday evening, an endeared audience in Bucks County's New Hope Cabaret The RRAZZ ROOM was treated to the latest offering by Christopher Denny leading theatrical power diva Karen Mason in "Mason's Makin' Music". 

As the stunning talent herself said at the opening of the evening, "What else would she be doing?"

The show featured selections from throughout her career and from her current album, "It's About Time." 

Today's portrait shows Karen in a resoundingly triumphant - and deserving - high note!

Portrait of the Day: Michele Lee

Ms Michele Lee has starred on Broadway, in feature and television films, performed in concerts and variety specials with legends of the entertainment industry. She is known worldwide for her Emmy-nominated role as Karen Fairgate MacKenzie in the landmark CBS series Knots Landing. 

Here is one of my favorite tender moments from her appearance last fall at the Bucks County Playhouse's Cabaret Collaboration with The RRAZZ ROOM.
