We Are Family

Thanksgiving on the road can be tough. You miss the smell of food permeating the house. Your home cooked meal is now instant potatoes, stove top stuffing, and cranberry sauce from a can. There are no seconds or third servings at a hotel restaurant. But Thanksgiving is not about the food, it's about remembering what you are grateful for this past year and breaking bread with those close to you. One of the things I'm most grateful for this year is that I am a working actor. There are so many of my friends who are not "working" and struggling to make ends meet. I am so fortunate to be doing what I love and to have the opportunity to use my talents to their fullest. And though we may have our arguments and get on each others nerves from time to time, it's opportunities like this that show you that the actors that you are performing with are your family. They are there to support you, inspire you, and share in your triumphs. We share memories- funny ones, sad ones, and every emotion in between. We, as a whole, are what make our show succeed night after night. And so on this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to my fellow cast and crew members. It is an honor and a privilege to be on this tour with you.
