Ugly Is... by Rhonda Hansome

Sometimes I love being an artist.

 I felt the love watching the extraordinary documentary, of a civil rights activist and musical genius, What Happened Miss Simone? 



I was transported, enthralled, deeply touched and made grateful for my own moments of creativity and contentment.

Being an artist is not always fun, but as the film clearly shows, it can be a powerful and often rewarding way to live a life touching others through creative expression.

This week directing rehearsals of the play Ugly Is A Hard Pill I had a delightful experience. When I complimented some of my actors on progress with their roles, without hesitation, each attributed the breakthrough to my direction. 

           I did my happy director dance

Directing is a collaboration I do with actors, designers and technical operators; all to the words crafted by the playwright,in this case, Andrea Fulton 

The result of our collective work is in the 2015 Thespis Theater Festival.
