As my dad always says: he cast my mom as the leading lady in his musical, and she’s been his leading lady to this day. 41 years of marriage.
Help us share our love story in Variety, take home $20,000, and go on a triple date with Jeff & Emilie Goldblum and Charlie Day & Mary Elizabeth Ellis!
It began when I was 19 and in college as a theatre major. Jim was 27 at the time and wrote the music for an adaptation of Antigone. He cast me as the leading lady and we fell in love! After opening day of course! Carolyn sang As Long As He Needs Me from Oliver for her audition and her performance melted my heart! Here is Jim singing the song he wrote to ask Carolyn to marry him. https://youtu.be/VfnAP6RWq2E?is=AGWuasXa_P02gJZ-

Here is Jim singing a song he wrote for Carolyn celebrating their life together as parents. Their daughter Erin sings backing vocals. https://youtu.be/0NnWIFl2vqs?is=B7_2F9aXtc4u2_Yi
What would you do with $20,000?Pay down some debt! Also… maybe rent a Winnebago to visit family out West! On our bucket list of things we’d love to do. Here we are singing together in the show where we first met. https://youtu.be/vzKazvqP8bQ?is=Ot2eE5ygp2exQd4J
