WOW! ...They say time flies when you're having fun and that is NO joke. The play was amazing!! Its weird because I've had this conversation and reflection with so many different people since the show and although it all definitely happened, it still hasn't totally resonated. Because so much has happened since then and I haven't been able to gather all of the cast together to reflect (writing on my to-do list).
There has been interest in doing a documentary, 2 people have voiced interest in doing a short film with some of my stories.....and everyone has been asking when will there be another show. Some of my favorite comments were the appreciation they had for the feeling of the show and the cast. I was told that it felt very professional and comfortable at the same time. The audience enjoyed this honesty that was given to them and opened themselves up to be reflective in those moments. From an actors point of view, I LOVED doing my piece "It Happened To Me" and being able to make eye contact with different people. The felt me and I felt them....they "knew" my pain all too well. Being able to have that connection is ....indescribable.
I was able to make enough, from donations, to book the venue again for a second show!!! I was so nervous but people have supported and I'm excited to begin pushing for a more regular show. After seeing how it all came together I'm also excited to begin building the show, tweaking it and adding some improv. Very excited.
The challenge is doing all of this from LA....but you can't stop this Capricorn once I've set my mind to making it happen. Watch out now!

1 week from today
In 7 days I'll be getting ready for the preview of my show, Voices In Color. WOW! This is unreal...in just ONE week!
I'm getting ready to pack the car up with our props and head over to the House of Music. I'm getting so excited to see everyone on stage, to hear their voices bouncing off the walls and to work out details. There are plenty of details to work out but we have come so far!! I remember telling my friend about what I wanted to do and her pushing me to begin planning....to manifest my dreams. And here we are, 1 week away.
I am praying that everyone who joins us is open to the experience, open to the journey we're going to take them on. The pieces are so personal but I know its not just my story, its OURS and I want others to feel invested in this project so we can continue.
I believe in it...and that's a start
