<\/p>\n
I am sitting in the living room, with the sounds of peepers peeping at me as I recline in a towel at my new apartment In Northampton Ma. The cool fall air is whispering through the window as I reflect on where my life and company have gone over the past year. <\/span> <\/span>I have set up bases in NYC, Boston, and Western Ma, and have begun to expand my regional grasp. <\/span> <\/span>Since last we spoke I decided to end my residency at the company theatre in Norwell MA. <\/span>I had become artistically stagnant and realized I needed to challenge myself to expand my career. <\/span>I am grateful to the time I spent there, the relationships I formed, and the lessons I learned. <\/span>I have done a few shows in NYC and I am looking forward to more in early fall. <\/span><\/p>\n I am particularly excited about being considered to tour with a company on a two month North American tour. <\/span>If this materializes I will tell you more about it. <\/span>Suffice to say, I am calling in a few favors to try and tip the scales in my favor. <\/span>I am very excited about the truck and bus aspect, the pay is good, and id be able to use units that are not normally available to me.<\/p>\n Its thrilling to be invited back to Manhattan to work on a festival which I first applied for a few years ago. <\/span>It seems to me that many of my good friends, myself included are starting to click and find our stride. <\/span>New works are being written, shows are being produced, and great art is being experienced, for this I am so grateful.<\/p>\n This month I will be opening Cabaret at Sea Coast Repertory Theatre, Ill be lighting a few weddings, and hopefully a fashion show. <\/span>I hooked up with an amazing scenic designer, and opera director. <\/span>I am hoping that as the years go on this relationship will strengthen and we will continue to produce stunning breath taking works. <\/span>I think what I find most exciting and thrilling about the space I am in right now is that I am starting to see so many diamonds in the rough. <\/span>Diamonds which I want to gently unearth and polish until they are the envy of the artistic world.<\/p>\n That\u2019s all for the moment, it will take me some time to get back into the swing of writing to you, but I hope you stand by me as I come back to the blogosphere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am sitting in the living room, with the sounds of peepers peeping at me as I recline in a towel at my new apartment In Northampton Ma.
