Hello! I know it's been a while since the last post but I am HERE and I am going to be better about posting! I'm currently posted up in my hotel room here in Dallas, TX getting ready for night 3 of our 8 show run at the AT&T Performing Arts Center. We had a tremendous (SOLD OUT) week in Houston last week and the good news is that we haven't lost an ounce of joy yet.
All that being said, little bits of home sickness have started to creep in here and there. I'm not going to lie, it is hard to be away from the community of folks I found in Detroit. I spent the entirety of my career inside of very insular regional scenes. It's the kind of actor I know how to be. You know how it goes... when you're in a show, you get to do it with friends and colleagues for YOUR community. When you're not in a show, you're supporting your friends and colleagues as a member of YOUR community.
As a touring artist, I feel like a guest in these communities. Make no mistake, it is a huge honor to get to perform in these beautiful spaces night after night. I think I'm speaking for the entire cast when I say the love we get from audiences is so real. I just think it's worth mentioning that a huge reason we get to tour shows at all is due to the infrastructure of audience development that artists in regional scenes have facilitated.
So what's up next for us here on tour? After Dallas, we are headed to Chicago for a three week run at the Broadway Playhouse and then we hop on a bus to tour the show all over the country. Be sure to check us out at goldengirlstour.com to see when we're playing a city near you!
Thank you for being a friend!
