Clarity

Entering the final week on crutches... at least I hope so. I'm free from my plaster prison and in a walking boot for a week now but still clinging to crutches. I'll spare the details of the unveiling of my foot, but there was much exfoliating to be done.

My restful days are coming to an end as well, but I will say I've learned to appreciate very simple things (i.e. carrying my coffee from the kitchen to the living room, actually carrying anything). But this month has held some very pivotal auditions. The crutches are a great ice-breaker when entering the room for an audition!

One audition resulted in a show! (I've been cast in a new play "The Tragedy of Dandelion" with Ego Actus Theatre Company, which starts rehearsal in a couple weeks) One audition resulted in rejection. I'd auditioned to be a member of the school of Steppenwolf for the summer in Chicago; a very competitive program led by one of the best theatre companies in the country, but I woke up this morning with such a sense of relief. Had I been accepted, it would most likely ended my role with Turn to Flesh and the developing Life & Death Trilogy, of which Cupid & Psyche is the final installment.

Last night I sat with my Cupid & playwright as we shared two bottles of wine and talked the night away. One of those wonderful evenings when time is irrelevant and responsibilities set aside. The future is exciting to dream with these two and I'm more than grateful for the opportunity to continue to collaborate. Summer in NYC will be quite sweet, methinks.
