'and the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was more than the risk it took to blossom'- Anais Nin
Like Rosy Fudge I am hopelessly in love with theatre. Unlike Rosy, I am not one to let life merely happen at me.
But in 2000 I willingly committed a heinous crime: took time off from a lucrative, fun and interesting acting career to have children.
In 2008 I came back to a new world. With a crooked smile and no way to convince my agents I can do more than commercials I began to write.
But what?
I stripmined my life and Containers & Life as a Pomegranate were born. Writing has started a landslide. I now have two new plays in development and (yay!) have been hired to play some juicy roles as 'just' an actor.
Think getting a one woman show to OffOff Broadway is tough? NO! As Rosy says:
"I am living my biggest dream now."
Do you live your biggest dream? Please try. Nothing like it.
If you love tonight's performance and want to book Life as a Pomegranate for your own theatre or event go to:
