Phew! A LOT is going on!!
Earthquake... I'm okay. Everything is fine. I was taking a work out class on the Upper East Side and when I emerged, blissfully unaware that all the buildings surrounding were evacuated! People were on their cell phones, checking to see if their loved ones were okay, and here I was strutting in my SF Giants shirt as if nothing had happened. I guess I'm more used to California weather than I thought!
Next on the list... I'm in a show! Spring Awakening at White Plains Performing Arts Center!
Those two gentlemen I met at the Theater World Awards landed me the audition, and here I am! I play "Anna," one of the girls. We open September 16, so it's coming up. It's the New York regional premiere, so it 's all quite exciting. The run isn't as long as their mainstage shows because it's viewed a special event. Either way, it's nice to be performing again, especially with a show I love.

Lake Lucille was amazing. AH-mazing.Soon I'll have FULL blog dedicated to how impacted I was by the experience. I met truly astonishing people that I hope to be working with/visiting in the near future. And what talent! These people were incredibly accomplished in film, television, theater- My mouth hung agape nearly the entire week. And not everyone was acting. These community of actors/musicans/designers (with resumes longer than my blog posts) just banded together simply to create art. There were no egos, no desire to push ahead. It was a family. We were all in this together.

And the show itself? A Marvel! Images will stick with me forever. I'm not sure I've ever been artistically stunned the way I was watching this. A scene between Constantine and Nina happened in the middle of a lake. A LAKE?? Ah... speechless.

| This is the scene before Constantine kills himself. He's on the roof and down below Arkadina and friends play bridge. Unreal. |
...like I said... another blog post.
And as icing on the deliciously wonderful cake, my best friend Kendall came to visit for a week! A WHOLE WEEK! Ah, what a boost. What a breathe of fresh air.
Life is pretty good. How thankful am I?
Now I'm off to rehearsal! This is the life!
