We are up.  Big sigh of relief.  After celebrating a successful opening, Marissa, Natalia and I hopped in the same car and headed down the canyon.  Three reds.  The three of us are very different, but we’re all gingers so there’s a kind of sisterhood there.  And we just opened a show together, so there’sContinue reading “Opening Night”

Sorry. The every day posting has taken a backseat to Tech Week and Opening a Show. In caps. Cause it’s been a capital week. So I was cast on March 13th as Mae in Reefer Madness at the Egyptian Theatre–a Darkhorse Company Theatre Production. I didn’t know squat about the role. We started rehearsal onContinue reading “Gas”

Grateful that we’re about to go on for Reefer Madness preview performance.

When I was a kid, my nana and popop had a summer condo in Deer Valley. I loved spending time with my family in this beautiful mountain village. And Park City Main Street is one of my favorite places in the world.  Last night, we had a long and happy tech rehearsal in downtown ParkContinue reading “Park City”

I am the heaviest I have ever been. I’m no longer curvy. I am round. I really don’t like myself right now. I am unwilling to make the choices that I need to reverse this. There are moments of darkness where I simply want to just disappear. I want to just fade away. It doesn’tContinue reading “So Much”

I’ve been thinking about childhood lately. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday. I decided to create something to commemorate the influence she has had through her choices to become a mother and the mother she was to us. So I gathered a bunch of pictures of all of my mom and step-dad’s kids at various points,Continue reading “Childhood”

How did I get so lucky? I really really love this time in rehearsal–when it’s all clicking and everyone is just firing on all cylinders.  Tonight I am grateful for my cast and the crew who have helped to create this amazing production. I sat on the side of the stage watching the other scenesContinue reading “The Really Great Part of Rehearsal When Things Finally Click”

Norman* came in to the office and our conversation flowed from one topic to the next. I wish I could remember the words as much as I remember the feelings. We talked about the area in which the homeless reside, the stores they frequent, their growing number, how many of them were given one-way ticketsContinue reading “Disappear”

Last night’s rehearsal was fantastic. So much exercise! Uggh. Who needs it?? (Me. I need it.) In the 2nd Act of Reefer Madness, I get to belt my brains out in three songs in a row. Three. In a row. (Well, I get about a 45 second break just before the last number, but still…)Continue reading “Singin’ and Dancin’ and Breathin’ and Glistenin’”

This is Minerva Teichert’s painting of Queen Esther. I love it. This is a smart woman. This is the kind of woman I hope to become. General Conference was wonderful. There are talks I hear that I think–“This doesn’t speak to me. What can I do to better understand and better receive these teachings?” IContinue reading “General Inventory… Anyone else exhausted thinking about all they have to do?”
