Greatest Love Story Ever Told?14-2-13
I was having a cup of tea with a friend yesterday and the topic of love stories came up. Mainly because we're close to "Singles Awareness Day" aka Valentines Day. We were discussing the greatest love stories of all time and my friend brought up the topic of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. "It's the greatest love story of all time!" she gushes.
Year of the Snake7-2-13
Kung Hei Fat Choy! The year of the Dragon is closing soon and we will be in the Year of the Snake. I googled what our future holds for us and according to the CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets annual "feng-shui" report we're in for a year of calmer markets and demeanors amongst our friends.
And the Award for Most Under-appreciated Goes To...6-2-13
Yesterday on facebook I threw out a question, "Which job in the theatre biz is the most under-appreciated?" All the fellow theatre peeps jumped on this question with fury. They all had opinions on this matter. I noticed a pattern very quickly that they all thought their job was the least appreciated, one even had the balls to say that actors were the least appreciated. I think it's safe to say that most people would agree that actors are very appreciated for their contributions to projects. You don't see people throwing down in the tabloids over who's going to win the best Sound Editing Oscar this year, now do you? (PS- Paul Ottosson is totally going to win...)

Memorizing Tips of the Trade27-1-13
The hardest part of being in a play besides the whole "acting" thing is having to memorize all those words the silly playwright has written for you. Memorizing can be a daunting task for some people. I can't memorize a script by just reading it over and over. I'm a tactile learner so I learn best by alternative methods. Here are my tips of the trade.

Dresscodes?24-1-13
Recently, I was having a discussion with my mother about working at the theatre. She says to me "It must be nice to work at a place where people come in dressed up for all your shows."
