Whew! Like Giving Birth or Something

Well, it was one week ago that I was onstage with 12 other actors, performing in the play "The Diary of Anne Frank." And that a culmination of 10 weeks of hard work! I am so very happy and honored to have been given the chance to repeat my interpretation of Petronella Van Daan. The story of these people in 1943-44 Amsterdam, as the Nazi's were taking control, is truly one of such amazing courage! The courage to go "underground", to hide right under the enemy's noses, to get up day in and day out and know that there is no where to go...I can't imagine the inner fortitude that took. I sometimes wonder if I would have just given up...

So in the last week, I find myself kind of missing my "stage family" and feeling a little like postpartum depression has set in. I'm moping around wondering what's next on the horizon. But so, so thankful for for it all!
