”Hope is hope, girl. I don’ care who delivers it.” - Domonique Stephens

From a little girl talking about trees, to playing Clemma Diggins in college, to bit parts at the Lyric, to starring in Brownwood Lyric Theatre's production of Sister Act.  That's a severe simplification of Domonique's life in theatre for sure. This in-depth interview will fill in some blanks and definitely make you fall for this incredible talent.  Waxing Lyrically brings you Domonique Stephens.

”The blood of heroes...is sweet nectar to earth” - Joe Dennis

If you are fortunate to know Joseph Dennis (aka Seph Ronden) then you know what a kind & giving person he is.  Family is everything to Joe and his equally amazing family all makes cameo appearances here.  If you don't know Joe, this perhaps best encapsulates his spirit. After Alisa Hinton interviewed Joe, he phoned me.  He was concerned that he had not praised his fellow castmates enough. This podcast is sure to pique your interest in Three Musketeers which opens Friday February 11th.

Since then, she's served as Lighting Director, Set Designer, Technical Director, Director, Chorus and Lead Actress; spanning well over a dozen shows.
