Dr. Sue: “Come to the Orange Bunker-Boy Comedy Cabaret” Positive Entertainment
Here in solo quarantine due to Covid-19, life can be lonely and boring. Let’s face it, human beings need to share food, drinks…and show tunes!
All the theaters and cabaret venues in New York City are closed. There’s no stage, no scenery, no colored lights, no live audience – and worst of all – no cute waiters.
What’s a cabaret girl (or boy) to do? We still want to connect – and we need to stay creative. We need life purpose, we need human company, we need the arts, we need… “Orange Bunker-Boy Comedy Cabaret”!
Some of us live-stream; some of us zoom; some of us youtube, and some of us social media. Some online friends become ongoing friends – who comfort and cheer us through these dark days and nights – minus the bright light lights of Broadway and mini-lights of cabaret. This show is for you.
I call it my Home-Style Comedy Cabaret. It’s not as filling as home-fries, but on the bright side – I won’t have to burn calories at my gym – which is still closed 🙂
By the way, this show is called “Orange Bunker-Boy Comedy Cabaret” – so if you don’t like political comedy – or orange feather boas – and you do like the orange-themed POTUS – don’t watch my video!
But if you do, here we go-a with my boa!
What good is siting alone in your bunk? Come to where rainbows play With orange hair you’ll be quite a hunk Come to Orange Bunker-Boy Comedy Cabaret!

Dr. Sue sings funny West Point Covid-19 song! Positive Entertainment
Hi, I’m Dr. Sue.
Hope you enjoy my original funny song. It’s called : “Covid-19”
My song is based on real (not fake) news about President Trump giving an in-person commencement speech at West Point Academy.
The young cadets have been away since early March. But now, they have to travel back and forth to West Point – fifty miles from New York City – the epicenter of a pandemic!
Dr. Sue imagines herself as a young cadet who’s getting nervous… 🙂

Dr. Sue “Here’s to Ducks” Positive Entertainment and Education
Dr. Sue, Entertaining Educator, says, “A Teacher is a Second Mother!” When you teach with love – in a language the child understands – the child (and everyone else ) wants to learn! This Blog post is geared toward communicating with young children, but the general ideas apply to all age groups.
Dr. Sue Duck Positive Entertainment / Education
The language of children is toys, so I use toy ducks to teach a simple lesson.
One duck is floating in a glass, and another is hidden behind my hair.
(Watch for the reveal in the video – a kind of peek-a-boo moment.)
Teaching is a form of communication, and communication is a holistic experience that combines all the senses.
I’m wearing soft, appealing colors that blend together (mainly the yellow of the duck and the soft blues and apricot in my scarf). The sun is coming through the window, and there’s a plant and a painting – so the room looks inviting – a place you may like to visit.
You may also notice that I am smiling. My smile tells you that I like you, that I’m happy, that we are together, and that everything is okay.
Two Ducks
Here’s another picture!
Can you see two things in this picture that are also in the first picture?
If you said the duck and the scarf – you are right!
How many ducks are in this picture?
If you combine the ducks in this picture and the duck in the first picture, how many ducks do you see?
If you said “three” – you are right!
These questions are simple but they give you a chance to interact with the pictures and text – and to be right! That’s very important. Everyone (including children) wants to succeed! Give people a chance to succeed step-by-step, from easy to more difficult. If they make a mistake, give them a chance to correct their errors, improve their skills, and move on to the next level. After we master the easy tasks, we are ready to move on to more challenging ones.
This learning principle applies not only to counting ducks, but to most learning – and many video games.
Creating this Website Blog involved learning many skills. At first it seemed overwhelming, but with the guidance of my excellent Web Developer/Coach, I learned to do many things I never thought I could!
There’s a stereotype that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks. But I am what you call an “older person” and I’m here to tell you that learning is a life-long process.
Now it’s time for the video.
As you listen to the video, you’ll notice that I combine speaking with classical music in the background. That’s two senses – visual and auditory (listening) words and music. And don’t forget your sense of humor – my Duck has a name: “Quack!”
Children – and most people on the Internet – have a short attention span. This video is 22 seconds long – but it’s packed with information!
In only 22 seconds, you learn all these things…
Youlearn my name: I’m “Dr. Sue”
You learn my brand: “Dr. Sue Positive Entertainment”
You learnwhat to expect from my brand: a positive experience, probably with humor and a chance to learn something.
You learn to interact with the video. You can look for repeating content in different images! You can count the ducks! You’re invited to make comments in the Blog and the YouTube Video! These interactions are simple – but simple interactions are how I learned to creae this Blog – with text, photos, a video, my logo with text and links – plus some hidden categories and tags that will help you find me on the internet.
You learn togive your viewer, audience, and students a way to interact and succeed! A successful interaction is more interesting and engaging than a passive experience.
You learn that are treated with caring and respect. That is my commitment to you!
Are you ready to watch my video? It’s only 22 seconds long – so watch it as many times as you like! How many ducks can you see? Watch the whole video to count my earring! Dr. Sue Positive Entertainment presents…”Here’s to Ducks!”

“Masks probably do provide some protection.” That’s the latest news from The New York Times
NYTimes on Masks and Coronavirus:
“Masks probably do provide some protection. They’re particularly effective at keeping somebody who already has the virus from spreading it to others, and they may also make the mask’s wearer less likely to get sick.
“Coronavirus appears to mostly spread when germ-containing droplets make it into a person’s mouth, nose, or eyes,” Vox’s German Lopez explains. “If you have a physical barrier in front of your mouth and nose, that’s simply less likely to happen.”
Of course we should give first priority for masks to health-care workers. And there may be no masks available.
What can you do? You can Make Your Own Mask!
It may not be medical grade – but it is surely better than nothing! Tie a Scarf around your Nose and Mouth! (You’ll feel like a Movie Star – The Lone Ranger! ) Or Use a Bra Cup – any size will do! Fasten with hooks and eyes, snaps or elastic – get creative. Or cut up an old shirt or pants leg! (Use your imagination, your scarf, shirt, pants…or bra!)
Fashion Forward means NewYorkStrong!
You don’t have to live in New York to be NewYorkStrong !
Dr Sue shares Health Tips to Cope with CoronavirusNo gloves? No problem! Health Tip #1: Wear plastic bags!
We all know it’s best to wear plastic gloves when we touch public surfaces. But what do you do when the stores don’t have them? Besides, gloves and masks (which are in short supply) should be reserved for health care providers and people on the front lines.
What can you do? Get resourceful!
Most of us have plastic bags lying around the house.
Slip on the gloves when you go outside – before you touch buttons, door knobs, railings, revolving doors, money, etc.
Are plastic bags as effective as surgical gloves? Do they replace social distance?
Of course not. But they are certainly better than nothing.
When you come home, take off your gloves and…
Wash Your Hands!Health Tip #2: Don’t touch your face! Coronavirus (COVID-19) gets in through the mucous membranes. These are mainly located in the eyes, nose, and mouth – near your face. Touching your face is often an unconscious habit, so I put on a scrunchy, and tucked my hair under my cap. The cap reminds me: Don’t Touch Your Face.
Health Tip #3: Self-Isolate and Social Distance
I stay home most of the time and social distance when I go out. We all need to do this – for ourselves and our community.
Stay Healthy – Stay NewYorkStrong ! Dr. Sue Shares Health Tip: Plastic Bags
