Welcome, My Friends!

I'm pleased to open the curtain on my newly refurbished website. Your patience over the last few months as we got this all together is very much appreciated. I am so grateful to the very talented, Robert Sokol of VIA MEDIA, who took the reins a few months ago to update the site for me. Between the two of us, we have been spring cleaning here. (It always feels so GOOD to do that, doesn't it?)  I think all the info you need is still available and even easier to navigate.

We are hopeful that casting directors, prospective producers, concert/lecture presenters, the press, and fans of my work who visit me here will find everything they need. If not, please contact us with any suggestions, as we are still adding and expanding the info on certain sections. I think it looks sleek and sassy and I love all of the toys Robert has given us to play with as we search.

I plan to keep this HOME page as current as possible as a kind of personal blog with my own thoughts and any exciting news on the horizon. So come back, regularly, and see what is happening here at Casa Lucie.

I want to take a special moment here to thank my dear friend and long time webmistress, Laura Johansen, for the many many years she devoted to making sure "All Things Lucie" were accessible to you all on the 'net. She has done a remarkable job of archiving information, photos, reviews and articles through the years, and keeping an open channel of communication with all of you, and I am so very grateful to her. Laura and her handsome husband, Jimmy Garrett, have recently been blessed with not one, but TWO beautiful children, and she was, regretfully (and understandably), no longer able to carve out the time required to manage it all.

Thank you, Laura. Your loyalty, generosity and superb artistry will never be forgotten. Now, go and enjoy that beautiful family of yours.

God bless you all!

Besos,

Lucie in the News
