It has been a while since I have had such a long break between the read through of a show and the rehearsals. It was like “oh, yeah, I am in a show, I think, opening in November or sometime after the fair and Halloween and… wait, what is it again?”  My character felt...

  Last night was the first rehearsal for “In the Boom Boom Room”, the November production at Bakersfield Community Theater. I will be playing Helen, the mother to Chrissy who is the lead in this play by David Rabe.   Compliments are a great way to inspire a person to give...

"Your words are my food, your breath my wine. You are everything to me." Sarah Bernhardt When I was a toddler, my father called me "Sarah Bernhardt", perhaps invoking the actor-who-was-to-be. My Mother would go to church on Sunday morning - her one time away from her...

So, here I am.   June in Dana Point – the place I went to high school - means overcast, grey mornings “socked in by the fog” as my mother used to say.  June in Bakersfield usually means oppressive heat, vapors rising from asphalt to make mirages, puddles that can not...

Last Friday I posted a blog here and over at Bakersfield.com.... writing, I thought, told a story of how much my friendships with fellow theatre artists mean to me... especially through the struggles of my recent life. WELL - some very verbal folks over a Bakersfield.com were insensed about...

I arrived at the Bakersfield Community Theatre at a couple minutes after 6 to drop off some scripts, to put some costumes away and to see if the Rocky Horror Band was doing ok in the their impromptu-box-office-rehearsal-hall.   I walked towards the box office and saw Tyler Shanklin,...

Emma noticed something had changed, something was not right.   She whispered to me, “Did she? Did she?”   I nodded my head and turned my focus back to the stage where emotions were rising.  I heard Emma gulp and felt her energy begin to change.   She started...

I got this crazy email from my brother Jim (lives in North San Diego County and works in Irvine) thanking me for inviting him to see me in "Picnic" - he actually schlepped all the way up here... took a side trip on the way to Laguna Seca in Monterey because car racing is his...

My life has taken some intriguing plot twists and turns this week as I wait to be back onstage in “Picnic” this weekend at BCT.   The most mind altering started with a call from my mother on Wednesday morning.   In such classic Jordan fashion, she left me a voice mail...

The wings were dark, and at least somewhat quiet.   I was trying to escape from everyone and everything and settle into the deep alone-ness of my character in the moment before… she walked back into her world.   The music was too loud, it was unnerving me. I felt myself...

I felt my heart come a little bit off its hinge last night as I left for rehearsal. “No rehearsal, Mommy. Don’t go to rehearsal…. Please….” Sam was doing his five-year-old best to keep me from getting out of the house.  He wanted me to stay and cuddle, as I...

I wrote my “Picnic” blog today, which was different because there was no rehearsal to inspire my words. What I found was…. I got a lot done on my own, working my lines with Katherine last night. It was exceedingly productive.   Excuse me for a moment while I put on my...

Barry is pushing us with this no script thing. The thing is, it’s working.   I just wish he would let us sit up there on stage and review when we aren’t directly involved with what is going on in that moment. I learn by reading it, not by hearing it read to me… my brain...

I felt like I was living a Jackson Browne lyric at “Picnic” rehearsal yesterday.   “Here come those tears again, just when I was getting’ over you… just when I was gonna make it through another night, without missing you…. thinking I might just be...
