A Weekend in the Country

I am back from workshopping Food for Fadwa with the NYTW at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie this week.

It was a long week as I had to travel back for a callback and class, having left the morning after Betrayed closed, and then keep my wits about me. Good thing I was out in the country with nature all around me. Felt good to be cut off from my computer to just do nothing by work on a play.

I am however firmly glad I never stayed in a dorm in college. I don't see how collegiates can eat the food day in and day out for four years. By the second day I was ready to lose my mind.

The show went really well and was received with glowing, positive remarks. I got to work with an amazing cast and with and for an amazing actress/writer who I have come to admirer rather quickly and very fondly.

And now....I am back to focusing on class, auditions, and trying for the next job. I should treat myself to a break, but the fear of stopping and then never starting back up again is too strong. Gotta keep the train moving.
