An Opening for the History Books

So It has been a long while since I wrote anything here oin this blog.  I am not exactly sure why I let it go, but I am very clear on why I am picking it up again.  You will find out the numerous reason why as you continue to read and follow.   OK so now that all the symantocs are out of the way I can officially begin.... well begin again....  wait...begin again, again!!! 


So Last night I was invite to attend the opening of a play.  The play was called The End Of The Rainbow.   Yes you are correct it does sound like a quote about the death of the legendary Judy Garland.  You are correct because it was indeed about that very subject.  IN short I will say the show was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN.  I could ramble for pages and pages about the brilliance I saw onstage.  INstead Ill let you eaither catch the show or read the reviews.  

For me the more important part of the evening was being able to watch excellence onstage.  Being able to see this craft we call performing being executed in such a way.  I was speechless for most of the show, hand over my mouth and I kept saying to myself "how does she do it, shes so good....amazing.  How does one know they are even capable of such an impossible feat?"  The questions went on and on and on.  I then paused for a moment grabbed on to the person next to me and started crying.  Not because I was sad, but I was excited to dig back into the craft of acting and grow as a performer.   I thank the evening for that and that alone is one of the reasons I am running back to this blog to share.

Today I woke up and I was excited to get to work at The Lion King on Broadway and begin trying to translate what I saw onstage into my own performances....  If you have not been motivated in such a way recently...I hope you get to experience it soon.  I do feel my life is changed in an instant. That sounds like a song title.   "Changed In An Instant"  anyone know of any?? let me know and Ill record it
