I couldn’t have asked for a better opening of my solo performance “BURST” — double standing ovations both night, full house on Saturday, and some amazing feedback & thank yous. I truly am humbled and honored to have had such a great reception. A huge thanks to everyone who came out and helped make the opening of BURST a success!

Plans are in the works to take the show to Arizona and California, perhaps beyond? …

In the meantime, I’m leaving the magic of New Mexico to see what kind of adventures I can watch (ar)rise in Phoenix. Stay tuned.

Dress rehearsal filled me with a renewed sense of energy. Except for some minor(ish) glitches the dress went smoothly, and it was magic seeing it all come together: the direction, script, blocking, set, lights, and music — this idea that started as a mere burning in my belly over 3 years ago has finally ‘burst’ out into the world with a life of its own.

I’m so nervous, I’m going to vomit.

I just ran my show all the way through for the first time today in rehearsal. It is finally coming together (phew!) I work on it for about 5-7 hours a day now (memorizing, practicing blocking, rewriting parts that don’t work), in addition to the production aspects (fliers, venue, set, programs, business ads), with 3 hours of rehearsal.
