Mega-Madness

Well, we did it. We're doing it. We will be doing it for one more month! MegaHeros opened today at the Birmingham Childrens' Theatre. The piece was written by Raphael Crystal, an amazing composer, lyriscist, and playwright. I feel honored to help make his creation come to life! I play "Stephanie," who transforms into a "MegaHero" after solving the "Ancient Chinese Infinity Puzzle". I LOVE my character. She's so free. My costars (the other two megaheros) are Stephen Tyler Davis and David Page (who was also Prince Charming) We have so much fun together. They're like brothers, and we laugh hard and long and yell at each other and fight and play and dance and then laugh some more. Life as a MagaHero is pretty neat.

Hello, friend. This post is dedicated to you. Because I forgot that I had a blog. But you reminded me! And now I have exciting things to share. Much love to wk, my inspirator, conspirator . . . i like to make words. and put pizza in my wallet. And i read magazines from back to front.

If the shoe fits . . .

So I have been working . . . and actually quite hard! Cinderella returned from a month of regional tour and we've been doing 2 (and sometimes 3) shows per day in house since March. In the midst of said perfomance schedule, I've also managed to appear as "Betty" in Guys and Dolls, and am about to open another show on Thursday!! Hooray!

Anyway, back to the issue at hand . . . Cinderella. Let me say, that I have LOVED being Cinderella. I mean, isn't it every little girl's dream to actually be THE Cinderella??

That said, I'm SO over it.

I'm tired of being so damn nice!

It's time to get my wacky bitch on again. I can't wait for you to see my MegaHeros pictures. (They should be out soon!!) I get to play this crazy, out-there, wacky, nerdy, obnoxious teenager with a penchant for math problems and saving the world. . . not to mention a spandex unitard (think 1940s supergirl). Flippin sweet.
