JUNE?!?

I tend to lose track of a year by the end of March, and normally, I don't even need a pandemic to do that, but this year...raise your hand if you've also lost track of time and space...
In the meantime, when not being driven to distraction by the news, I have been doing Zoom readings of plays, including an adapted version of writer Rebecca Salomonsson's "Outrageous Fortune". Imagine Shakespeare's most famous tragic characters meet for group therapy, with Prospero as their moderator. Now imagine them doing it over Zoom. It was hilarious and fun and I was honored to play Prospero. I'm listening...
Speaking of reading, I FINALLY have VO clips available on line! HERE, you can listen to a little corporate razzle dazzle, while HERE is a, sadly timely, clip from a poignant radio play called Sidewalk Prayer. I played Mama, the grandmother of a teenage boy brought down by gun violence outside his own home. 
ON THAT NOTE, let's close this entry by raising a glass to Richard and Mildred Loving. June 12th, 1967, the Supreme Court heard the case of Loving v. Virginia. And they ruled unanimously in their favor. As a daughter of mixed parentage, this story is close to my heart. The Supreme Court voted for love that day. They voted against hate, and bigotry. In this time of tumult, let's remember this happened. Let's raise up this story, to remind us justice was once done. And while the present administration would rather promote division and cruelty, if you've seen the top books being sold, how many people are looking up the massacre of Black Wall Street, and how many companies are deciding to mark Juneteeth as an official office holiday, I'd say we have signs of hope for the rest of the country. #blacklivesmatter #Lovematters
