A new Comic Book project, promising to be revolutionary.
From the minds of Jared Axelrod & Diana McQueen (mostly my pencil and his mind tho ; )).

Tensions Flare Over U.S. Military in Okinawa
The problem is that a sizable chunk of the island’s residents demand that the American military be removed altogether – not just removed from view. In 2006, Washington and Tokyo agreed that the Marine Corps Air Station Futenma would move to Camp Schwab, an existing U.S. base further north on the island. Once that happens, the U.S. has agreed to move some 8000 marines off Okinawa to the American territory of Guam.

First “travel” post
Part of the reason for my overhaul on this site was to create a travel section.
More and more I just needed a site for all the things I wasn’t doing professionally/things I *WANT* to do professionally. Like Act. Travel. Teach. Draw. So, this, for now, is the new dianamcqueen.com.
Where I am traveling now, is back to my hometown, seeking employment there, and then hopefully next year sometime hearing from the Jet program. It’s one of my dreams to go back to Japan and work there and live there for a while. Recently, I’ve discovered a love for teaching, especially foreign language, which I love personally too.

Spades
Created in 2000, Spades is a finite series I created about a superhero with no memory, lost in a new world where nothing seems familiar, but what memory seems to recover is completely wrong.

I can add “award-winning pie maker” to my resume! I was so pleased to hear that the local young networker group in Waterville, Maine, KV Connect, was holding a Pie Making contest, complete with local celebrity judges!
Josh and I both entered. Josh is more of the Pie enthusiast than I, but I was happy to provide more pie for all the local friends and family attending the event.

Show: Wit
Roles: Dr. Jason Posner
Stage: Marsh River Theater
Dates: September 30th & October 1st, 2011
Director(s): Mike Switzer
Wit at Marsh River Theater was amazing. Sue Hall, who played Vivian Bearing (the lead), is so amazingly talented and professional. She also shaved her head to portray cancer patient Vivian. She donated her long hair to Locks of Love, making this performance a double benefit. Read More…
Wit in the Village Soup!
BROOKS — Friends of Marsh River Theater will present “Wit,” a powerfully moving Pulitzer Prize-winning drama by Margaret Edson, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Marsh River Theater, 24 Monroe Highway/Route 139.
All profits from ticket sales will benefit the Oncology and Mammography Fund for Patient Assistance at Waldo County General Hospital and EMMC Oncology.
“Wit” is about the last months in the life of Dr Vivian Bearing, played by Sue Hall of Monroe, a professor of 17th-century literature and John Donne scholar who is dying of ovarian cancer. She reflects back to when she agreed to be part of a clinical trial for a new drug regimen to fight ovarian cancer. Now she has become not just a sick patient, but also a subject of research for the doctors (Pierre Leclerc and Diana Cameron McQueen) who attend her.

Little Women in the Village Soup!
BROOKS — Marsh River Theater presents a stage adaptation of Louise May Alcott’s beloved “Little Women” Thursday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., Aug. 25 through 18, at the downtown venue, 24 Monroe Highway/Route 139.
Under the guidance of their beloved mother, the four young March sisters — tempestuous Jo, motherly Meg, shy Beth and spoiled baby Amy — struggle to keep their family going while their father is away in the Civil War. In this beautifully dramatized adaptation of the classic novel, even as privation, illness, and sibling rivalry cast their shadows, each girl strives to find her true self.
The Marsh River Theater production stars Diana McQueen of Waterville as Jo March, Jenifer Turnbull as Meg, Kristina Carter as Beth, Izzy Labee as Amy, Mert Dana as Laurie and Nan Simpson as Marmee.
General admission tickets may be bought at the door at $10, $8 for senior citizens and children younger than 13. For more information, call 722-4110. Visit the Marsh River Theater Website.
Little Women at Marsh River Theater
Show: Little Women
Roles: Jo March
Stage: Marsh River Theater
Dates: August 25,26,27,28
Director(s): Frank Champa
This was my first lead role, and so far my favorite I think. Although, Germaine was very fun. I really love humor, but in a contextual way. Little Women was such a commitment, and everyone was so amazing, and we became a little like family. Read More…

______________________________________________
The Aqua City Actors Theater that performs in the Waterville Operahouse Studio Theater is performing Steve Martin’s Picasso at the Lapin Agile in June.
I auditioned in January and got the role of Germaine, a saucy red-headed woman who’s got a lot to say about men and love. I think I can get used to being typecast this way.
I’m so excited to get started. I hope you will come see us in June!!

This is my first time working with ACAT. Everyone seems amazing.

Ring Puzzle
This is very random, and not really the reason for this website.
But I have in my possession a puzzle ring with an en-coiled snake on the front.
