Marsha Roberts

Biography

Marsha Roberts always possessed a gypsy spirit in search of adventure. After career hopping for years, she talked her way into producing Corporate Theater for clients such as IBM and Coca-Cola. But one fateful night she had a dream which was to become a unique stage play, "Letters From The Front." For fifteen years "Letters" was the only professional theatrical production to tour military bases around the world - well over a hundred of them. This highly praised show touched hundreds of thousands of lives, was the first play ever to perform at the Pentagon, and became known as The World's Most Decorated Play. It also gave Marsha the opportunity to travel from Alaska to Florida, England to Italy, Japan to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean and hundreds of stops in between. She climbed aboard a C-131, C-17 (and a bunch of other C-aircraft!), taking her show to far away places. Not to mention seeing America mile-by-mile as the show was bus-and-trucked to major cities and little towns from sea to shining sea. She shares some of these experiences and more in her inspirational memoir "Confessions of an Instinctively Mutinous Baby Boomer and her Parable of the Tomato Plant."

  • An Actor's Life - A Short Story on May 01, 2013

    This short story is a quick, easy and very fun read from the author of "The Gordonston Ladies Dog Walking Club," which I read a few weeks ago and just loved! His most recent story is written in the same dark comedy and at times tongue-in-cheek manner of his novel. And, like his Ladies Dog Walking Club, the characters are very vivid and no matter how flawed they are, he presents them to us with a surprising amount of humanity. There is always the irony of the consequences of small moments in our lives in Mr. Whitehead's writing, and I like that. As in his Gordonston book, there is a mystery here, but it's not the focus of this entertaining read, and I won't tell you any more as I wouldn't want to spoil it for you. Enjoy this free read, then treat yourself to his full novel - you won't regret it!
