Happy International Women’s Day! Above you will see just a handful of the women I love and respect within our industry - I could literally keep posting photos ALL DAY of the fierce and fabulous female power that has graced our live stages. When we were full swing, I have literally been in awe of the tenacity, authenticity and luminosity of female representation in the audition room. Women, in our industry, show up with fearlessness on the stage and for each other. Take a minute today to honor the women in your life, or yourself if you are one of these courageous warriors. You deserve it! Consider this a reminder of the unique energy you bring to the audition room and beyond!
As we creep closer to vaccine availability and the sweet promise of an overdue return to live entertainment, please don’t let your guards down. Wear your masks. In fact, DOUBLE mask! Last week I didn’t blog because I was diagnosed with Covid. I am a person who very much plays it safe when it comes to this pandemic - mostly because I have respect for others and I desperately want to see us all return to doing what we love. So, I was shocked by the news that both my boyfriend and I were positive. He had already had his first vaccine shot, soooooo PLEASE don’t feel like your first shot is a license to roam mask free. Play it safe. I know with this message I may be preaching to the choir, but a friendly reminder is always healthy. We have healed and are doing well, but Covid is not fun…it’s generally terrifying. Mask up and hand sani like you mean it!
I cannot wait til I can see all of those powerful, unapologetic, strong female performances light up the stage once more! Til then, be safe and love one another!
It was just this time last year that I was seeing some theatre with this bold and powerful lady…I miss her deeply. Wear a mask so we can work together once more….
Courtney and I at Ain’t Too Proud last year!
