The new play Cupid & Psyche is in the New York Times!!!
I'm not entirely naive & I know that we have hired a marketing company to assist in getting the word out, but either way my name has appeared in association with the New York stinkin' Times! Ha!
Apparently, the ad has appeared in nymag.com as well! Oh the little joys in life. Hopefully this will not be the only time I'm mentioned in the Times & hopefully we actually get reviewed in the Time, but for now I'm completely content with just having a page online associating with a project with which I'm involved. Pinch me moment!

"I'll Be Seeing You"
It's quite extraordinary to attend a memorial service of a person I did not know. Yesterday, myself and several classmates joined in support of our acting teacher, Wynn Handman, as he said goodbye to the woman who'd been by his side for 63 years. I walked away so moved and inspired!
Upon entering the auditorium on a rainy Saturday afternoon, we were handed a copy of the Constitution, which threw me a bit. As the service progressed though, we heard over and over how important the First Amendment was to Ms. Handman and how passionately she loved this country for it's freedom.
The love story of the two of them was incredibly touching and when Wynn spoke, not one eye was dry in that huge space. So touching and lovely. To hear the life of someone told by a person who adored them is so special. I felt as though I was given a gift by attending the memorial service.
Before I left, I was able to speak with Wynn briefly. I kissed his cheek & nearly lost it as I saw a tear in the corner of his eye. He said, "So you learned about my wife today?" He's such a treasure! I'm so happy he became a part of my story. The man is like my great-grandfather! Love him!

And We're Off
Unofficial, official rehearsal has commenced! Cupid & Psyche is underway! Hooray!!
Although we did a few things before the holiday break, Wednesday night kicked off the new year and the year in which this play will be fully staged. Again... Hooray!
Thankfully, I was off-book for the scenes we were working. The goal of the rehearsal was to block the last scene leading into intermission & begin playing with the opening scene after. Both extremely physical and fun! My amazing leading man caught me as I jumped into his arms over and over and over again. What girl doesn't want to do that?!
Good start to this adventure. Woke up fairly sore the next morning, and was reminded of muscles I'd forgotten. Time to change up my fitness routine. Yoga last night was both wonderful and painful. Truth be told, I love being sore, in that self-punishing way :) Makes me very aware and grateful for my body and all it's elements!

Day 1
23 hours into the New Year & it's going pretty darn good!
After spending 8 hours with five pre-teens counting down to midnight, I think this is a New Years Eve I won't soon forget. Not the typical way many New Yorkers ring in the new year, but I had a blast with these goofballs! Good kids... with too much stuff.
Once the parents returned from a concert --performed by one of our other guests-- I was relieved of my duties a little after 2 A.M. Praise the Lord, I was granted permission to sleep (really a glorified nap) at the hotel. Although it was a short 4 hours in the room, I loved every minute of it. And my commute to work was amazing in the morning.
The challenge of the day: Wish everyone a happy new year. Pretty close to 100%. Survived with surprising energy; after work gathered research for a film I'm shooting in Feb; home to run lines with my fellow lead for my play on Valentine's weekend & now...bed.
If this first day is any indication of how my year will be, all I can say is YES!!! Happy 2014!
