Posted: 4/30/07 at 6:47pmI never know what to think or say in these situations except for "how terribly awful". Thoughts are certainly with Audra in such a difficult time.
I mean, Denzel Washington? Gun to my head..of course.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 6:48pmThat's absolutley horrible. I hope she can get through this alright.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 6:53pmI honestly don't know how she's going to do this. At least I don't know if I would be able to, but theater is a great place for healing. Our prayers are with Audra and her family at this time.

Posted: 4/30/07 at 7:08pmAccording to playbill.com, she is doing the show tomorrow, but taking off Wednesday and Thursday. She will be back on Friday. I can't imagine doing the performance tomorrow, I would be a mess. Hopefully she is staying strong.

"In theater, the process of it is the experience. Everyone goes through the process, and everyone has the experience together. It doesn't last - only in people's memories and in their hearts. That's the beauty and sadness of it. But that's life - beauty and the sadness. And that is why theater is life." - Sherie Rene Scott

Wow - pulling off a huge role in a talked about production and dealing with the death of a parent - too much for one person.
