Living in an actor’s house

It’s been years since I lived in a congregate setting. But that’s what I’m doing this September-October.

I’ve wanted to be cast ‘out of town’ for a very long time but when I was working news fulltime that wasn’t possible. But since I’ve launched my own coaching business, I’m my own boss so here I am .. In W. Springfield MA appearing at the Majestic Theater. I’m reprising my role a Mrs. Subert in SHEAR MADNESS. Two performers from my prior appearance in ‘the salon’ at the Lake George Dinner Theater are also in the show and we three share a house. It’s like the old sitcom Two’s Company - 2 ladies, one guy. It’s fun and challenging. One of us is vegetarian, another (me) pescatarian and the fellow will eat anything. Our fridge looks like the produce section at the local BIG Y. I’ve been cooking a few nights a week and that’s got me expanding my vegetarian repertoire. Now that the show has opened and rehearsals are done we’re going to settle into a routine, at least I think so. I have managed to explore the area a bit and found a number of local parks, trails and Springfield. Yes, finding personal time is the biggest challenge. One thing’s for sure, I am managing with far fewer clothing options than I have at home.
