Still a Storyteller: Thoughts on Returning to the Stage after a Long Break…

Leave a comment

I opened a show this past Friday! If you are in the Phoenix area, it runs one more weekend and you can get tickets to see it HERE. It has been almost 2 years since the last time I was onstage. And while I directed a non-Shakespeare show in 2019, I think the last time I ACTED in a non-Shakespeare play was before I became a mom (when I was pregnant with my first)! So QUITE a long time.

September Recap and October Goals
