What's the Buzz" covers what's happening, what might be happening, and what should be happening in the opinion of the author.
Eleanor Cade Busby is an unpublished award-winning writer, photographer and blogger & simply loves writing about herself in third person.She published this absolutely all true bio.
Busby grew up all over New England,a preacher's kid who set out to destroy every single stereotype about a "Minister's Daughter."
She attended Goddard College, The Rhode Island Conservatory of Music and The School of Life, majoring in everything she could stuff into her head. She once had her own office and a red stapler. Her employees learned quickly never to touch it.
Much of her very long life has been spent on or back-stage at theaters. She penned a couple of plays, directed many more and acted in scores of productions. She's done it all except hanging lighting. You can't make her climb a ladder.
She won awards locally & nationally for social services and customer care. Most recently she was awarded the PEN/Toni and James C. Goodale Freedom of Expression Courage Award along with 3 million of her closest personal friends for "galvanizing a potent global movement to resist infringements on the rights and dignity of women and many other groups."
Busby has been a theater, art and dance reviewer and commentator for several publications, including CRACKED magazine.
Opinionated, obstinate, much-abused, and under-appreciated, she believes that if it isn't funny or relevant, it isn't worth it.
Eleanor Cade Busby lives in Midcoast Maine with two cats who like to stand on her head at 3 AM demanding a sacrifice, often her sanity.

“Deployed provides an opportunity for both civilians and veterans to hear perspectives that often go untold and unheard, and for female veterans to recognize the commonalities in their military experience, no matter when or where they served. It comes at a time when there is a wider national spotlight on the experiences of female veterans and a recognition that the roles and experiences of women in the military are often significantly different from those of men.
As a society, we have not yet fully reckoned with the physical and psychological burdens placed on returning veterans. Female veterans, in particular, speak of melting back into civilian society, which obscures both their contributions and their scars. The time could not be more ripe for this production to shine a spotlight on the powerful experiences of female veterans.”
Join the cast for this 70 minute, eye-opening experience which embodies the love and pride these Veterans have for serving their country , while confronting the things that need to change for service to be truly inclusive for all. Every woman portrayed in this production would serve again if called, a real testament to them and to our Armed Forces,
