    Laura Osnes shot to stardom after winning NBC’s reality TV competition “Grease: You’re The One That I Want”, earning her the role of Sandy in the Broadway revival of Grease at the age of 21.

    She quickly became the go-to ingenue of the Great White Way, starring as Nellie Forbush in “South Pacific”, Hope Harcourt in “Anything Goes”, Bonnie Parker in “Bonnie & Clyde” (Tony Award nomination), Cinderella in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” (Tony-Award nomination), and Julia Trojan in “Bandstand”, which was professionally filmed for Fathom Events and Broadway HD.

    Osnes has charmed millions in her five Hallmark Channel original movies, “Christmas In Tahoe” (2021), “Raise A Glass To Love” (2021), “One Royal Holiday” (2020), “A Homecoming For The Holidays” (2019), and “In The Key Of Love” (2019). She has also been seen on television in “Fosse/Verdon” (F/X), “Dynasty” (CW), and “Elementary” (CBS).

    Her crystal clear and powerful soprano regularly graces symphony halls and cabaret venues around the globe, including filmed performances with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Live from Lincoln Center (PBS), A Capitol Fourth (PBS), and The Kennedy Center Honors (CBS). In addition to hearing her voice on several Broadway cast recordings and her two solo albums, Laura chronicles the recent journey of her move from New York City to Music City in her debut EP of original music, "On The Other Side.”

  • How Chris Claremont Immortalized the X-Men.

    Chris Claremont is a NY Times best-selling author, has been awarded the prestigious Kellogg Award in Arts and Letters by Bard College, and was inducted into the Will Eisner Comics Industry Awards Hall of Fame. His work has won multiple awards in France, Spain, and England.

    His papers are collected in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library of Columbia University, New York. He has authored nine novels, spoken at Princeton, MIT, U Penn and Columbia University, and appeared on television in the US and abroad.

    Chris’s initial unbroken 17-year run on "The Uncanny X-Men" is the stuff of industry legend -- taking a lackluster series and transforming it into the best-selling title in the industry -- and culminated in the launch of a new title, "X-Men"...the first issue of which sold a record-shattering 7.6 million copies.


    No one has come close to breaking this record.


    In addition to his indelible work on Marvel Comic’s "X-Men series" -- where he created classic characters such as Legion, The New Mutants, Rogue, Gambit, Sabretooth, Kitty Pryde, and the White Queen, amongst many others -- he has also written seminal characters such as Batman and Superman.


    It is a conservative estimate that Chris has sold in excess of 750,000,000 comics, world-wide.


    His work has touched millions, across several generations.

  • The Wacky World of Woke Theatre.

    Mary McDonald-Lewis lives in Portland, Oregon.

    a union voice actor since 1980 and a dialect coach for stage, film & television since 2000, she’s known for Lois Lane on "Superfriends", Lady Jaye on "GI Joe", and most recently as I.V.A.N in "Buzz Lightyear".


    You’ve also heard her as the voice of OnStar, guiding millions safely home.


    As a dialect coach she’s worked with Patrick Stewart, Juliette Binoche, David Tennant, and hundreds more.


    She is also a writer, journalist, public speaker and lover of all animals, most especially dogs.


    Around 2018 Mary noticed rising intolerance in the arts, and was cancelled by the theater community in Portland for refusing the compelled speech of pronoun declaration.


    Mary is deeply grateful for this, as it liberated her to write and speak out on the subject, which she has been doing ever since.
