I teach high school theatre, and I got a nice reminder this week of why I got into this profession. My advanced theatre students are performing their final project next month, and we had to shuffle dates around because of some conflicts… and it ends up that we’re performing on my 30th birthday. My students have decided that between our shows on that Saturday, they’re throwing me a birthday party. It’s nice to have them express their appreciation like that.

On the way...

I’m working towards this one. I’m doing a reading of my new play called PROVIDENCE at Festival International in Lafayette, Louisiana at the end of the month. We’ll see how it goes.
Getting around to it finally...
3 years ago
I finally got around to starting this one. In a month, I turn 30. And All I’ve done since high school is grow around the middle section and get a fair amount of gray hair. So, since I’m not getting rid of the gray (because my boyfriend likes it) I’m getting rid of the extra pounds. Plus I just bought a jeep, and I don’t want to look like the fat guy having a mid-life crisis.
