That Time I Ran For President …
With the insanity of the next U.S. presidential election in full swing, it seems like a good time to revisit the simpler, kinder elections of the past. Like that time I ran for president …. Check out the trailer.
Gratitude
The turning of the year is an obvious time for reflection, and this year, more than usual, my reflection turned to how grateful I am for the many, many people in my life who helped me in my work throughout 2015. Are we all so lifted up by others, so supported, sustained, and nurtured? I sincerely hope so, because as I’m being reminded, we can’t do much on our own. But together? We are limitless.
SEEK at BAFF!!!
The comedy short Seek, written by and starring the wickedly funny Cara Loften and with a totally fun role for me — as an amorous, new age love counselor — screened last night at the Big Apple Film Festival. In lieu of a link to the film, which is still making festival rounds, here’s the very cool BAFF trailer:
Dietland!
Looking forward to diving into this bombshell of a book on Monday! I’ll be at Duart narrating Dietland for the Library of Congress’ National Library Service. It’s been great getting familiar with Sarai Walker’s first novel, a delicious surprise of a book that challenges everything we take for granted about beauty, health, and women’s place in society. Just like the cover image, it’s a cupcake hand grenade!

An Extraordinary Man of the Theater – An Extraordinary Human Being
I am so privileged to be a student of this man, Wynn Handman: founder of The American Place Theater, creator of Literature to Life, and director, coach, trainer, and mentor to some of the finest actors we will ever be lucky enough to see. As anyone who studies with Wynn will tell you, stepping into his studio means stepping into a world where commitment, integrity, and devotion to the work are the very ground you walk on, and egos or anyone searching for a quit hit to their resume find no air to breathe. Truthfully I’ve learned about so much more than acting in Wynn’s class, but how can you fail to learn from a man who guides his entire life by the question, “What is needed here?”
