MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM - SHORT VERSION IN PROSPECT PARK, BROOKLYN

I just got cast in Midsummer Night's Dream - playing Titania. I am so happy to have been cast in another Shakepearean production. I took the advice of my wonderful teacher and classmates in my Shakespeare Intensive and revamped my monologue and it paid off.  I'm so Excited.  The show will be every weekend in June during the day time. Matinee performances on saturday and Sunday there may also be two Friday matinee performances.  So as soon as I'm done with I'm Every Woman it will be time for rehearsal for Midsummer.  Yea!!!

A bit of Sad News.

This months has been a blessing, but there has also been a few tragedies too.  I lost a cousin and an uncle within 3 weeks of each other.  I also lost my car. It was totalled in a car accident.  God still sits on the Throne.  Thank God no one was killed or hurt in the car accident.

My cousin past away on Resurrection Sunday which is Easter in a Charleston, SC hospital. My aunt was of course devistated as well as the family and my uncle past away last Friday on the 23rd. He was my dad's last brother. The funeral is probably next week sometime but we don't really know.  He was tired and didn't want to fight anymore. So he gave up and past quietly in a hospital in GA. Daddy said he died of malnutrician. He had pneumonia and just stopped eating. His lungs were bad but if he had a little fight left in him; he might have lived. But when you say your tired of living then there really is no recourse from that. So God took him home. 

God Bless you Uncle Roger and God Bless you Charles.  Love you both. Sorry I didn't get to tell you lately, but I hope you knew that is how the whole family felt on both sides.

Finally the Wait is Over - I GOT A NEW YORK AGENT

Yes as of April 19th. I am now with ABOUT FACE TALENT.  My agent Sonya Stewart, came from one of my previous agencies and  asked me to go with her. I said of Course I will, without a second thought.  I am so excited. So far she has sent me out on 2 auditions. I haven't booked anything yet but I'm sure I soon will. Well I haven't booked anything she has sent me too yet.  I have of course booked my own stuff, by God's unmatching grace.  So I will keep you posted. So far, I have auditioned Nuvisions which is the Neilsen Ratings Training Video and a go see for Flumist at Impossible Casting.  We will see what the Lord brings. It's exciting. Isn't it.

I'm Every Woman

I am playing the lead role in this show. It is hilarious. I am so excited to be working with the great cast of actors and actresses again. Darryl Leonard is a wonderful Director and Writer. I pray that he will get his break to tour or to even put one of his productions on Broadway or Film.  I know it will happen. He is consistent and genuine.  May 9th for Mother's Day. It's On!!!

2010 is so Awesome Right now.

Well this year seemed to have started off a little slow, but actually it is right on time. I had a fabulous staged reading with the Negro Ensemble Company. The show was called "Rising" - About a black woman from Baltimore who volunteered to teach the ex slaves how to read. Her name was Helen Walker. The playwrite said that I looked just like her. I was just glad that Marie McKinney was satisfied with my performance. She thought I did an awesome job and I really connected to my character and had the underlying struggle within. More new coming right up.
