Ada Lovelace Day!

Oct 15, 2012 13:09

Before I post about my new show that opened on Saturday afternoon here in Philadelphia, I want to point out that tomorrow, October 16, is Ada Lovelace Day, and you should celebrate women in the sciences; maybe go to a local science fair or get together with a sister or niece and set off rockets, or go someplace like the Franklin Institute and marvel at how far we've all come.

I was featured on the Ada Lovelace Day site last week.  I think it came out beautifully - click on the link to see a short video of me reading lines from "Childe Byron" and then some rehearsal footage Kyle Cassidy took as I talk about the challenges and rewards of bringing Ada to the stage.

I'll miss this show very much, but it helps to go immediately on to a new project.  After a marathon performance schedule on Saturday, Kyle and I hosted a cast party that went on into the wee hours... and were joined by Amanda and Eric, who were in town for a house concert.  She serenaded us on the ukulele with "Delilah", which, I have to say, was one of the most moving and spectacular ways to end the evening.

Sometimes, I have to pinch myself. Hard.
