Random Acts at 4th Wall Theatre Houston

I am thrilled to be performing Random Acts at 4th Wall Theatre Houston, Feb 17 -27, 2022. Jessi D Hill, my amazing director, and I will be starting rehearsals on Jan 24 in New York. Then I head to Houston on Feb 6. I will keep you posted about all our adventures on the road. I am excited to work with this dynamite group of designers and production team.

If you have friends in Texas, please share this post. I’d love to share this with them. Thank you.

Mandela and Me

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.

There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates other.

1994 Inaugural Speech of Nelson Mandela

I love this quote and it is something I go back to again and again to ground and inspire me. It irks me that a famous spiritual teacher uses this quote but doesn’t credit the source correctly. I wanted to give credit where credit is due. Thank you Nelson Mandela for being a light to the world.

A day on set with GAIA

I had the great pleasure to be cast in a new Apple TV+ series, called GAIA(working title), and will be released sometime in 2022.  I hadn’t been on a set since I filmed JESSICA JONES and things have changed a bit since then. Everyone had to be vaccinated and we had several COVID tests before my day on set. The only thing similar was I had to report to Queens. Everyone couldn’t have been nicer. The sad part about filming during COVID is that we no longer have meals together. In the past, on some sets, we were able to eat with other cast and crew members. I really enjoyed having the option to hang out and relax with other people on the production, but I had a lovely room all to myself so I am not complaining. 

I loved working with Scott Z Burns. He is a wonderful director and creates a fun and focused set. I was honored to be asked to stay and work on another scene when my original scene was over. He was experimenting with an idea and it was fun to see him work with all his crew to figure something out. In the end, he was happy with the result and we all felt a collective sense of accomplishment.
