Sister to Sister

I'm really excited to be a part of the Sister to Sister program at Central Detroit Christian Ministry this April and May. I will be driving to Detroit on Tuesday nights to teach drama and music for middle school kids who live in the city. The classes start April 1st! Keep me in your prayers! I'll keep ya updated on how things are going. This is a volunteer program that will also get my foot in the door for Urban Arts this summer. Exciting!

Why Direct?

It's been a while since i've last updated what I have been up to, but this is the first chance i've had to sit down and think clearly about what i've been doing myself!:) Upon arriving home (Michigan) safely from Thailand, I spent a couple of days doing laundry, repacking, and in meetings for Urban Arts before I hopped in my car to drive to Washington D.C. I got into D.C. pretty exhausted, jet lagged, and trying to figure out why I said yes to directing a play 3 days after I flew in from Thailand. But after some much needed sleep and a "first" rehearsal with the cast, I knew I had made the right decision!

I had 4 1/2 weeks to pull off a full production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It was a success! We had a lot of laughs during our practices and some pretty special moments. Enjoy the pictures and if you're interested in purchasing a DVD of the production let me know!
