Salesman

I am incredibly honored to be part of this production of 

Death of a Salesman

For the last month or so there have been some amazingly talented humans working so hard on bringing this story to life. There is real honesty and emotion happening on stage at The Grand Theatre, and I can't believe I get to be part of it.

Also, I've been so grateful for the opportunity to work with our director, Mark Fossen. We had never worked together, or even met, when I auditioned. He took a chance on this recent college graduate and I am so lucky to have had this experience. 

I play a very small role in this show. A brief appearance as a secretary, and another brief appearance as a "strudel" in the restaurant. Also, you get to hear my voice as the operator for a moment. Its a small contribution to this massive undertaking.

Arthur Miller created such a painfully beautiful play, and I have been lucky enough to watch some wonderful actors bring the story to life around me. Every night I watch and listen and absorb as much as I can, because even though I don't do much acting, I am lucky enough to have a master-class in communication and honesty by watching this cast work.  I have learned SO much, and I can't wait for us to open and share what we've created.

Mark said this the other night in notes:

"Love more, want more, fight harder, feel deeper"

and while he meant it specifically for this show, and these scenes, it struck me.

All we can do is our best. We can only Love and Want and Feel and Fight as hard as possible.
In the end, even if we don't see it, our contributions to this life will pay off. All our hard work will set us free in the long run.

And that's what I'm aiming for.
Love, Want, Fight, Feel.

and do it with a passion.

Do yourself a favor and come down to The Grand Theatre to see this show.

It is classic American drama done so incredibly well, and I am proud to be even the tiniest bit involved.
