I’ve been crazy busy as I’ve returned to school in August. Starting with a crazy fun time as Cecilia Payne in a Catawba original work, Sister of the Stars. The script is a brilliant combination of intellect and heart as it follows the emotional journey of Cecilia as she’s pulled between the man’s world of science and the woman’s world of love.
Playing Cecilia was a fantastic experience and I was so lucky to work beside such an incredibly talented cast and crew. AND what’s more, is that the show was entered into the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KCACTF). We had seven cast/crew members nominated for awards at the festival early next year including myself, being one of three actors nominated for the Irene Ryan Scholarship!
I am so so excited to participate in the festival and we’ll know if our entire production will be passed on this December – if we are passed on we pack everything up and take it on tour to KCACTF next year and can I just say: the suspense. Is. Killing. Me. Especially when I’m reminded of it every time I walk through our theatre and see our set and props leaned up against the wall waiting – just like all of us.
