Mini Life Recap

For anyone who cares... :)

Romeo and Juliet was amazing. We got raves in 3 papers/magazines (legit raves) and my Capulet has been well-received all around, which feels really great. I have no shame is saying I'm glad I got good feedback... some people pretend not to care, but the truth is: We work REALLY hard. The audience demands our best, and we have to give it to them, or we don't get an audience. When things go well, it makes the work feel so gratifying, and extremely fun, especially with Shakespeare.

I'm now working on Richard III, and it's terrifying... which is why I chose to work on it. I picked up the paper, started reading the monologue, and immediately thought, "Oooooh shit. This is impossible. I think I have to do it."

This isn't a huge recap, but here's my last thing. Thank goodness for friends! If I didn't have some of the best people working with/around me, I know I would feel very lost in this ridiculous major. I'm so grateful that I have good people to support me, and who let me support them. Brian and I are both doing Richard monologues, and today we chilled for an hour, working and talking in the Studio, and it was extremely therapeutic. I said earlier that we work really hard, and that doesn't just mean onstage. This program kicks our asses every day of the week. I'm so glad I have good people to help me along. Thank you all.

Have a nice day.

:-)
