Hi Fredi!
Macy's at Xmas *bows down to you* I live in Los Angeles and I work atone of the busiest Gaps in the Los Angeles/ Santa Monica area.Oy.. black friday is this friday and let me tell you hell has already begun, I'm am NOT looking forward to my Christmas and New Years at the Gap because I have a feeling it will be a thousand times worse than last year. But alas it is what's getting me to New York in Jan. and sigh...I will be transfering to the 54th and 5th Gap ( and add on to that another job..waitressing at a resturant perhaps,... but really I think I would suck at making coffee).
BTW would you mind me printing out your post on following your dreams and doing what you do as long as you keep faith in yourself? It was brilliant. You helped push lots of doubts out of my mind and re-enforce my determination. I know I can do it and handle it, I know that I wouldn't have gotten this far if I didn't have abilities that might be worth something in the world of theatre. I wouldn't have dropped everything and traveled 5000 miles to London and I wouldn't risk it all by going to New York if I didn't have faith in what I think I can do. My only thing is my family doesn't comprehend that, my mom does everyone else well... just doesn't. They think I'm just wasting time..oh well it's MY time, not theirs, I'm moving not them and I am the one on stage not them.
now to my questions: What was your Rent audition like, and what was the rehersel processes like? On opening night before the show and after the show what did you all say to eachother, could you say anything or where just totally overhelmed by what had just happened on stage? Also have you read any plays by Federico Garica Lorca ( blood wedding, yerma, dona rosita the spinster)?
My dream is to reprise my role as the Bride and play Rosita on broadway or off broadway or off off broadway any where really in spanish and english.
Take Care and have a GREAT holiday!sorry so long!
once again thanks for really taking the time to connect with us, it's not something alot of people would do on a personal level being this the business, so kudos to you!

The theatre is one of the most expressive and useful instruments for the edification of a country; it is also the barometer which makes its greatness or its descent. A theatre which is sensitive and well oriented in all its branches from tragedy to vaudeville can in a few years change the sensibilty of the people; theatre which has been destroyed, in which cloven hooves take the place of wings, can put to sleep an entire nation. A people that does not aid and encourage its theatre is moribund if not dead; the theatre which does not gather to itself the best of society, of history, the drama of its people and the genuine color of its landscape and its spirit, with laughter or tears, does not deserve to call itself theatre, but rather a place for that horrible thing which is called killing time.- Federico Garcia Lorca
