T-Minus 7 Days

We're a week away from our preview performance. I should be freaking out, but I'm not. The cast has worked really hard and the characters have developed. There are some last minute technical details to work out (what's new), but I'm confident it will all come together. What's unusual about this show is that our actors are spread over 500 miles - from Jim in LA to Kim in Bishop, me in Mammoth and Jeff in Carson City. We've only had one rehearsal with all four of us in the same room. But we meet next week as a team - ready to pull it all together.

I am so grateful to everyone who has supported this project - it's been an incredible experience. I just left the annual meeting of Sierra Classic Theatre, a group who gave me the freedom to grow as an actor and director. It was wonderful to reminisce with old friends and the evening helped me understand the power of theater to connect people.

Hopefully if you're readng this, you'll be able to come out for our shows next week. "Lauren Leaping" is our gift to our community - a free theatrical performance about people connecting. It's funny, it's sad, but above all, it's about the hard choices we all face.

See you there!
