The first day of school feeling
I've been at the Utah Shakespeare Festival for two weeks, and it's been a whirlwind. I was talking to my angel, Tanya Searle, during a break today and we were both amazed that it's been two weeks. Of course, for me, I've felt like it's the first few days at a new school where everybody knows each other, and nobody knows who I am. However, those first day jitters have been taken away by the lovely people here. I've been welcomed with open arms. Given a seat at the table and been encouraged to be a partner in this process. By everybody, directors, actors, administrators, designers, choreographers. It's sort of like dying and going to the heaven I hope exists. A beautiful Shakespeare festival that is loving, welcoming, and filled with ridiculous talent!! I love the characters I am playing in Much Ado and Henry VIII, and I especially love that I am doing Henry VIII. My new friend, Topher, who is playing Henry commented on how lucky...
