Transitions

I remember graduating from undergrad and debating Grad School. I thought, yes, I want to continue training and learning, but how can I justify starting a career at 25? I already feel like I'm joining the party late at 22. Needless to say, I was an idiot. But now that I am 25 moving into a new market, those same issues are coming up

.

The good news is that I have some time to deal with this and sharpen my fangs. My beautiful show, Fedra, ends on November 15 (SAD!) and I am giving myself 1 month to prepare-- really prepare-- to move on. I am coaching my monologues, doing an on camera class, and tying up any and all loose ends.

Leaving Chicago is so tough, I had no idea how deeply embedded in the community I had become, or how much it felt like home. And I know that this is not the end of my time here. There are so many companies I want to work for that I have relationships with. The triumph will be achieving my goal of becoming a NY based actress who works nationally. Here we go...
