I’ve spent the past week working on cutting the script for our upcoming production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This will be the second time I’ve directed this play this year. I am kind of excited by this time round. I can’t get my last Titania and Oberon out of my mind. The girl whoContinue reading “A week in the life”

Sunday night, Spencer and I headed off to Floyd, VA–by way of Lesley’s house–to perform for the people of Floyd. We had a great ride down to Lesley and Robert’s house. We were supposed to be running lines for the upcoming performance, but we did a lot of talking and we’re friends again. Which isContinue reading “Performing at the June Bug”

I’ve been talking with a new friend Abraham. Here’s a list of Abraham’s qualities: he’s nice, good looking, he travels with his work to Africa and other exotic places, he appreciates great music and art, he enjoys sports, and he’s a loyal friend.

Today I am a pathetic loser. Oh well. Whatever.

I auditioned for Peg in The Way of The World by William Congreve at The Shakespeare Theatre today. Lesley Larsen was also invited to audition for the same part, so we rode the metro into the city together and had a wonderful time strutting our stuff for Michael Kahn. She’s doing the show in FloydContinue reading “A day in the life”

After sleeping in, I forced myself out of the downward spiral I was headed towards. It took everything in me to drag my sorry body to the gym after eating an entire package of cookie dough. I changed up my workout routine because my foot is killing me. I went on the elliptical for 2Continue reading “Charity never faileth–and a good workout helps too!”

I’m sitting in class, watching my students write on two stories we just read in class. The stories are “Joy” by Anton Chekhov and “King M” by Crispin Oduobuk. In both stories, we have stupid people who do stupid things. They’re really funny and I hope the class got something out of the stories. IContinue reading “Finding Peace”
