My first interview of 2012! I had the opportunity to meet with playwright Peter Schmidt at a local Barnes and Noble. His latest play, The Teddy Bear Awards, is opening this week with the Allentown Public Theatre. He told me about the plot, and we talked through several of the Lehigh Valley locales that inspired him. He also told me about the work of Broadway actor and fellow playwright Jeffrey Weiss. Peter was very easy to talk to, and he has so many cool stories about his many years as a writer, actor, and teacher. He has a business where he helps students prepare for their SATs, and also gives them great real world advice that can impact their future. He has a great sense of humor, and gave me a preview of some of the songs in the show. It was very cool. Enjoy the interview, and check out his work when you can! |

Dave Joachim is a very talented individual. He is a bestselling author and editor of over 35 cookbooks. He also plays drums for Tavern Tan, and enjoys the great outdoors. I recently met with Dave in his home office. I got a sneak peek at his newest book that he wrote with Marc Vetri called Rustic Italian Food. He is very excited about this book, and you should be too! Dave told me about his early band experiences, and how important music is in his life. Even with his busy schedule, he has a need to be behind that drum kit. Dave also told me about his annual participation in the 550 mile cycling journey in the Pennsylvania Perimeter Ride Against Cancer. If you listen closely, you'll even hear Dave's family pay us a brief visit! Please visit Dave at his website to get all of the details on his books, appearances, and music. This interview only scratched the surface, but it is a great place to start! www.davejoachim.com |
