I spend a bit of my spare time as an actor in community theater, and have often found the articles on plays I'm in to be lacking. So, I've joined up with WikiProject Theatre to help improve things a bit.

Been updating sporadically, as the mood strikes, most recently Irish Traditional musicians. Dereksmootz (talk) 01:02, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Significant Contributions
 * Dracula (1996) - created
 * The Hollow (play) - wrote Synopsis
 * Joanie Madden - created
 * Junior Crehan - created
 * Mary Bergin - expanded bio, created "Playing Style" sections, created pages for albums
 * Irish flute - general editing and beefing up
 * simple system flute - destubification

Currently, I'm doing a lot of Assessments - at the moment, there are some 750+ unassessed articles in the project. --Dereksmootz (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

ToDo: Paddy Keenan - flesh out mid and late bio sections, insert low whistle info, Pavee activism probably deserves a section http://www.theworld.org/2010/02/15/irish-uilleann-piper-paddy-keenan/ http://www.johnnykeenan.com/about_02.htm - family bio http://www.michealodomhnaill.com/bringbackthebothies.htm (more a bothy band site?) http://www.ramblinghouse.org/2009/07/paddy-keenan/ http://www.folkworld.de/30/e/bothy.html another more Bothy source
