A LOVE LETTER

A love letter to theatre

I love you arriving early to rehearsal to make sure everything is ready and in the right place.

I love you tiny moment before the first few people arrive while I sit sipping coffee imagining what the show will look like. I love you first three people to arrive as we have an unexpected chat about our day before the rest of the cast arrives. I love you scheduling …. I didn’t think I did… but I do. I love you silly questions about scheduling that are answered on the rehearsal schedule. I love you moment when an actor misses a line and has to restart. I love you missed music cue. I love you face of the confused actor once the music cue has been missed. I love you crazy costume lady… whomever you are. I love you knowing look at the stage manager when an actor blows you away with their talent. I love you accomplishing the impossible with those you love.

In The Beginning

In the beginning, all I wanted was to do good work- at least it's nice to think I did. Being so long ago, it is hard to look back and remember what my true motives were. However, if I had to venture a guess as to my truest motivations, it was most likely for recognition and fame. No one would want to admit that. “I wanted to be the best, and for people to tell me that I was the best.”
