Rehearsals Are the Best

Rehearsal is one of my favorite times due to the fact that is where all the memories come from.

Tongue slips, finding out things that are funny, that's what rehearsal is for. One of my personal favorites from myself: the line is "you're a lesbian", what did I say, "I'm a lesbian" right in the middle of this emotionally poignant scene. The entire cast grinded to a stop for about 5 minutes because nobody could stop laughing.

It was the most productive use of time I've ever seen.

These are the moments most people don't get to see what is y one of the reasons why I keep coming back it's the shared memories.

The thing that brings people back to this work is the undeniable beauty of a group of people choosing to make something happen together, to make one thing happen. And it's beautiful.

Workin'

Being a working actor is one of my favorite feelings in the world.

Nothing makes me more excited than getting a phone call from someone that wants you to work on a project or that you got the role.

It doesn't mention the work ahead, there's plenty, but it's just your joy, the ecstasy of having something to do that makes you happy. Yes, rehearsals can be hard, memorization (at least for me) is hard.

But you know what, nothing in this world worth having is easy. It makes me so euphoric, like I'm in a musical and I'm going to sing about love.

There are some advantages to this crazy world we call show business.

In the language of an actor, to know is synonymous with to feel.
