osf to nyc and beyond

it’s been a while. like a long, long while. so i figure i’ll update you on how being on this crazy train called life has been…osf happened and it was amazing! seven months out there and then drove across the country with my cats and my wife until we landed back home on the east coast. we were back in nyc with family around us, but still not sure what it meant to be back “home”. that was back in october 2022. fast-forward to february 2023 and i’m now working at the public theatre with suzan-lori parks on her world premiere play(s) with a follow-up job (that i didn’t even audition for) working on another world premiere at the classical theatre of harlem. inbetween points a and b i was angry, scared, bitter, nervous, and confused. why did i come back if i wasn’t booking work and there wasn’t a job in sight? and then the floodgates proverbially opened, and here we are. i say all that to say it doesn’t matter what i think it’s all supposed to look like, life has a funny way of letting me know i don’t have all the answers, things won’t always make sense, and, if i just hold on long enough, there’s light at the end of the tunnel. things comes in waves and i’m riding a nice one right now. i couldn’t be more grateful and i hope to post more wonderful updates very soon. in the meantime, be kind and dare greatly.

love + light
