Everyone has a passion. Everyone has something that they love to do. My passion.. theatre. I feel compelled to pour out my heart onto this keyboard right now, so prepare yourself.. because this will probably be mostly me rambling.
Until theatre, I never really had alot of faith in myself. Let me rephrase that. After theatre came into my life (or I came into it's life rather..) I stopped doubting myself. There's just something about pretending to be someone else for a solid 2 1/2 hours. Something about singing your heart out on stage. Something about making a crowd laugh, gasp, cry, smile.. feel something. I'm sure I sound like a super freak right now.. But hey, It is what it is. Anyways, if i kept going on and on with how deeply in love I am with this activity, this would be the longest blog post in history. So, let me get to another point. The reason that I feel so compelled to share my love with you all is because I am currently doing a show. Not currently.. I mean I did one about 6 hours ago. The Theatre Society at my school (which I am extremely proud to call myself a part of) is performing Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit". I play the part of Elvira, the dead first wife. I'm sure most of you have no clue what that is. I know I didn't before it was introduced to me. But it's a wildly funny production about a writer who holds a seance in his home and accidentally brings his 1st wife back from the dead.
Tomorrow is closing night for the Blithe Spirit cast. It's sad to think that at 5pm tomorrow, we will be performing our last show. This experience has been a great one for me. While extremely humbling, it has been fun, sentimental, tiring, and so worth all the effort and practice and lost sleep due to memorizing lines. This is my first play... and what a great first it has been. I'm looking forward to many many more.

The whole Blithe Spirit cast including our fabulous director and the 2 greatest techies ever.
My best friend Erin and I. Erin plays the part of the mischevious maid, Edith.
My fantastic director. The evil genius behind it all. (P.S.- That's grey paint... I'm not that pale. Yet.)
