Sit down! Oh my God! I’m completely unprepared for this. I have to say, thank you Arthur for believing in me and giving me confidence when I never had confidence. My husband, who’s amazing and I can’t do anything without! The amazing cast, Josefina Scaglione, you make it so easy to be Anita. And George Akram, thank you. Thank you for carrying me around the stage night after night. Oh my God, I just want to dedicate this to everyone who has a dream and a lot of people said I couldn’t do this and I think that if you stick with it and you surround yourself with people who love you, you can do anything. Thank you.

acting is like nothing else in the world. it allows you to become someone else, have somone else’s problems, and personalities. everything in your life just goes away for the short amount of time that you are performing. you’re not you. you have the opportunity to become a completely different person. everything in your life just…goes away. i considered writing this huge long post about why i love theater so much. and why i’m positive that’s what i want to do for the rest of my life. i realized it’s pointless to explain. those of you who don’t act, or are not into it, or whatever, will never understand what it feels like no matter how well i describe it to you. to be on that stage. doing what you do best. doing what you love. being where you belong. and those of you who do share that incredible passion with me, well, you know exactly what i mean. there’s no need to explain.

“Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free, as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.”
