Evita at Riverside Theatre in Vero Beach. It was a complete joy to work on this with such a masterful team. My only regret - I couldn’t get out to see it because we were in the middle of audition season! Remember audition season?!? (more pics below)…

Hi Friends! I am moving…not far away, but nevertheless moving is so stressful! And, as I pack up everything I’ve ever known in boxes to be hoisted onto a truck in the next few days, I can’t help but think of how many of us have re-located and been transplanted over the last year. Wow - so many boxes of stuff and so much change. It’s exhausting, but also electrifying. Kudos to all of you that had to pack up and change location!

Even though I am deep in the packing process and feeling quite overwhelmed, I woke up thinking “What can I do NOW to prepare myself for a return to our industry even though I’m not sure when we will be completely pulled back in?!?” Of all things to jump into my mind in the middle of a move, but I welcomed the thought…Dizzying to think about, but honestly it was quite hopeful and I think we all need some hopeful thinking right now!

I started to recall last year at this time - where was I in this moment? What was I working on? Who was I welcoming into a room or emailing with an appointment? What projects were on the horizon? Whoop - there was SO much going on and it’s hard to even remember it all. Where do I even start in preparation for something I feel so far away from?

But, it occurred to me that packing and unpacking are useful metaphors in this situation…and in many situations. Take it one box at a time. Don’t feel like you have to do it all at once…start small and keep going!

So, my question for you: As we draw closer to a world that allows for Live Entertainment to re-launch, what box can you unpack NOW that will better prepare you for the future?

And remember, you only one right now….

Missing you all, but can’t wait to see you on the other side of our lengthy, drawn-out “move”…

Holly
