Anne Allgood had a delightful time this spring as Mrs. Lovett in SWEENEY TODD at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre.  She is enjoying a summer “off” (coaching, teaching, and baking her way through a couple of cookbooks)—and before you know it, it’ll be autumn and she’ll be in rehearsal for A CHRISTMAS CAROL at ACT Theatre, playing Mrs. Fezziwig (and understudying the Ghost of Jacob Marley!).

As a former SCUBA instructor and instructor trainer, Lyndy Burnham works as an expedition leader for BlueGreen Expeditions 2-3 times per year. He takes people on trips that are generally SCUBA or snorkeling oriented to off-the-beaten-path destinations around the world.

In January 2026, Lyndy returned to Antarctica with a group of about 100 travelers looking to experience the beauty of areas at the bottom of the world. Penguins, whales, Skua, albatross, leopard seals, and Orca. There was so much to see at every turn, in addition to hundreds of glaciers and icebergs.

He also recently led a group of SCUBA divers to the coastal islands of Croatia. Starting in the north at Zadar, the group sailed south for 12 days, ending in the city of Dubrovnik aboard the specially designed motor yacht Vranjak I. In addition to diving many offshore islands, there were numerous shipwrecks ranging from WWII era to more recent sinkings. Many encounters with octopuses during the day and at night made the trip special and unique. Lyndy is next scheduled to return to Iceland late in the summer, leading another group. Check out all the pictures here!

Billie Wildrick has been cast in the world premier of “How Can I Love You” at the Ancient Lakes Theatre Festival. Billie is also honored to be the Soroptimist International 100th Birthday Event Guest Host this year. You can read more about the event HERE.
