I know it has been forever since I last posted. I haven't had as many adventures since I got back from England! Living in Europe was definitely a more adventurous lifestyle!! HOWEVER... as you can probably tell from the title that I've been one busy lady.
I have been cast in Richmond's Vday Production of The Vagina Monologues. When I first told my parents I was auditioning for this they had no idea what it meant. My mom had a look of polite horror something like this:
My Dad was a little more obvious about how he thought that this production was somehow a porn film (it isn't) and had a look of what the %@$& Emma face.
I quickly eased their nerves and averted heart attacks when I told them it was a show that does talk a lot about vaginas, but it's a series of comedic and dramatic monologues about what it's like to have one and also tackles the topic of sexual abuse in order to raise awareness. All in all it is a very inspiring show that really has a powerful affect on the audience. I'm extremely excited to be a part of this and can't wait to help raise awareness in Richmond.
I also was in a short that is being submitted to Sundance and Tribeca about a janitor who works in a hospital and tries to help those around him. Even though the world seems to have forgotten about his existence he tries to make the world a better place by his final act of kindness before his death. In addition to that I just filmed a short for a student production where I stole a purse, was chased across campus and ultimately arrested. I was surprisingly good at it. Not sure what that says about my bright future, but don't worry world. Your purses and wallets are safe... from me at least.
So far my acting career has blossomed a bit since returning from my ex patriot adventures and I'm really looking forward to tackling more roles and auditioning for parts! I'm putting in a filmed monologue that is one of my all time favorites. It's not the best quality due to my camera and I don't have editing skills... yet. But hopefully you will enjoy it!
