Well, you're right. It was. (10 months of difficult decision making, to be precise.)
After all, I had a great life back in the Twin Cities: an awesome job (with even "awesome-er" co-workers), a lovely little apartment in Roseville and most of my friends & family in close vicinity. However, turning the big 2-5 brought with it the realization that I was half-way to 50 (holy sh*t), and that life is two unsettling things: 1) short and 2) unpredictable.
I'll save you the back-story, but if you know me at all, you know I live to sing, dance and put on a show -- and have ever since I got my first stage role as Ghoul #5 in Prairie Fire Theater's "Tom Sawyer" circa 1992.
Various other shows throughout my life, performed alongside new friends and old, people who truly do believe in me and this annoying, nagging and unrelenting dream led me to one realization: It's time to try. So, I'm here in the Big City. I left my job, friends, family and everything familiar and comfortable to set out on an adventure thats ending will be a surprise to even me.
I'm enrolled in two summer programs, one through the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, the other through Circle in the Square Theater School. My summer will be filled with show tunes, tap dancing, on-camera work, tears and (hopefully) triumph, and I couldn't be more excited. This blog will serve not only as an updater, but also as a way for me to share with all of you the crazy things I encounter in the city that never sleeps. Enjoy!
