Wrapping up for the Holidays

Well, one more week left of Bonnie & Clyde here in Sarasota.  We've had a great run here, although it zipped right by.  Opening night was really exciting.

Because there is a lot of potential for this show to move to Broadway, there were a lot of people from New York and other areas in the audience hoping we would put on a good show!  Luckily, we have a fantastic creative team and a super talented cast.  Everyone worked really hard, and we ended up with a really good story to tell.  I'm definitely proud to share this with my friends and family.

There are a bunch of production shots on BroadwayWorld.com if you want to check it out.    

The flip side of working in Sarasota is access to some of the most beautiful beaches in America.  Siesta Key Beach has sand that I liken to Splenda.  It is made of finely ground white quartz and is always cool to the touch.  In fact, let me me show you how to end a long day in Florida:

I know, I know...how do I get through it?  Well, it's tough to bear such a horrible sight, but I always remember that there must be beauty somewhere in the world :)

Next stop for me is NC for the holidays and then a trip to Uganda for my friend's wedding and non-profit work.  I finally got all of my vaccines.  Luckily I only needed 4 shots...and I didn't faint!  I will definitely post more about my Uganda trip once I'm there or soon after I get back.  If you'd like, you can look at my friend's non-profit called Sewing Hope: empowering African organizations caring for orphans and children by teaching practical skills.  I'm really looking forward to being outside of my comfort zone again.  That is when I learn the most!

Merry Christmas to all!
