The Learned Ladies closed several weeks ago at the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. Without a doubt there hasn't been another show in my career where I've had more fun. It was such an incredible delight to arrive at the theater everyday to do the show. There was an incredible sense of play within the cast and no one was precious about either themselves or their characters. Nothing lasts forever and I will treasure that production as I have many others.
Now I have returned to Philadelphia and had the unfamiliar sensation of returning to a home. I lived in New York City for over 9 years and rarely had a permanent residence. I love that city with all the amazing life to discover there and I owe a lot of my career to the opportunities New York City provided for me. Most of the jobs I had were outside the city and when I returned home, I frequently had a frantic sensation of trying to figure out my living situation or scrambling for money. Somehow it never felt like home. This time, when I walked into my apartment in Northern Liberties here in Philadelphia, I have to admit I was a bit overwhelmed with joy. The few items that I have acquired welcomed me home with a warmth I don't think I've ever experienced. It reaffirmed my choice to move to the City of Brotherly Love.
I'm also looking forward to a full theater season sleeping in my own bed (something I certainly have never experienced). I'm very fortunate in what I have going on here with several jobs including teaching and working at the National Constitution Center. I've planted roots here Philadelphia. Now lets see how I grow.
