I'll go ahead and admit that my attendance at theatrical events in the first half of this year was rather abysmal, so I leave it up to my colleagues to credit those performances. I offer my chapeau and a round of applause to these 10 truly delightful experiences, listed in no particular order.

1) THE ENSEMBLE OF '69 LOVE SCENES' (Gnap! Theater Projects)
2) ANNIE LA GANGA'S SPOONING IN 'SURPRISE ANNIE' (Rubber Repertory)
3) BLOOD, GUTS, AND FIGHT CHOREO­-GRA­PHY IN 'TITUS ANDRONICUS' (Last Act Theatre Company)

4) IA ENSTERÄ'S SCENIC DESIGN FOR 'UNCLE VANYA' (Breaking String)

5) JARRETT KING AS MAMMY IN 'THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF HEDDA GABLER' (Mary Moody Northen Theatre)

6) BARBARA CHISHOLM AS THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY IVINS IN 'RED HOT PATRIOT: THE KICK-ASS WIT OF MOLLY IVINS' (Zach Theatre)

7) DARIA DAVIS' INSPIRED DIRECTION OF 'DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE' (UT Department of Theatre & Dance)

8) EBONY STEWART AS THE LADY IN RED IN 'FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF' (UpRise! Productions/Vortex Repertory Company)

9) THE SPIRITED ENSEMBLE OF 'IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: A LIVE RADIO PLAY' (Penfold Theatre Company)

10) SUSAN BRANCH TOWNE'S BOPPIN' COSTUMES FOR 'HAIRSPRAY' (Zach Theater)

2012 Resolutions

In order to get what I need and want in this life I have to put it into the Universe...

With this mouth and this heart I profess these things to be for 2012:

I will take chances and not be afraid

I will be clear in my goals and progress

I will not get into habits that are unhealthy for me or will stunt my growth

I will travel to at least 5 to 10 new venues this year to perform

I will get a booking agent and be represented on rosters

I will not be afraid to love... or at least will be accepting of it

I will increase my pull-ups

I will reward myself

I will be a better friend to others and myself

I will read just as much as I write

I will only write things that move something, someone, me

I will smile and save and pray and give and forgive even more

I will be big and unstoppable in voice in love and on stages

I will believe in myself

I will ask for what I need

I will remember all these things and have those that love and care for me hold me accountable for all of them
