The film came out in 2008 starring Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams and Viola Davis.
The play consists of only the four main characters. It was a different experience for me as I have been in mainly comedies. Being in full habit I had really only my face to work with to convey my emotions. This drama was thought provoking and I was honored to be a part of the cast. I only wish more people would have come out to see it. Comedies do tend to draw a bigger crowd and the crowd is larger still when the title o the play is one in which they are familiar. Steel Magnolias had a wonderful turn out for example. I can only hope that more people will be willing to explore theatre outside the box more often and support their local artists.
Next on the horizon for me is a full length film. This film originally was a short that we began working on a year and a half ago. As with many of these local, small grouped endeavors the usual issues came up, money being a big one. Now the film has investors, has been expanded, has added a full crew and well on its way with filming beginning the end of October. I am reading through the script now and I will share more details as I embark on this film journey.
Past that, I know of the possibility of auditions around Christmas time for a play that would keep me busy the beginning of the new year as my boyfriend will be deploying this December. This next year I shall keep myself busy with acting, possibly more modeling and the like in the hopes that it will not only fill my always hungry creative side, but also make time go by more quickly and smoothly while my love is away from home.
