One of my hobbies, if you can call it that, is being active with my local community theatre, Little Theatre of Manchester (CT). My work runs the gamut from ushering and box office, to directing, to performing. Right now I'm in a 10-women, ensemble production of The Vagina Monologues.
This came about a little by accident. I had never had any interest in the play, but decided to audition anyway, because there aren't a lot of parts for women of a certain age, so there aren't that many shows I could try for. Still, LTM is swarming with talented women, so I didn't have any real expectation of getting cast. No one was more surprised than me when I was offered a part.
Suffice to say, I had to shake off a LOT of puritanical programming and get way out of my comfort zone to embrace this production. Happily, I can report -- mission accomplished. The audiences so far seem to agree as evidenced by this kitchy critique by Connecticut Broadway World.
