"The label you give yourself cannot impact external forces that are not motivated by your own psychology or influenced by a third party's pre-existing consciousness of you. We are all presented with reasons to struggle which come from completely external forces; to pretend that one is not struggling is either arrogance or an admission of defeat. To admit that one is struggling is a sign and a source of strength." - Evan A. Baker

Auditions!

We're holding auditions today for our Untitled Theatre Project!

It's a cold read of monologues - that I've written. Some may stay in the show, some may not, but it's going to be a day filled with women reading my words. Giving life to an idea I had, giving character to a character going through some pretty rough stuff.

It's gonna be awesome!!

Of course, I've held castings before, where people were reading my words, but I have to say, it's always thrilling. There will always be at least one person who says, "This is hilarious!" and while I usually respond, "Thank you; I'll tell the writer." I really want to squeal, "AHHH! THANK YOU!!!!" Because oftentimes, my humor falls a little flat to others, and when someone responds positively - where it's so funny they HAVE to say so in the room, it's a great feeling.

Will we be ready to draw the curtain in only 3 weeks? Yup! And it will be quite the adventure!
