February was epic. I was focused throughout the days and life was balanced! I spend the month swinging for A Gentlemen’s Guide to Love and Murder. My highlight for the month was watching my friends shine in A Gentleman's Guide. The show was seriously hilarious...like my stomach hurt from laughing so hard every night. My department is very sad that we have to put the production on hold due to COVID19. I feel lucky that I got to see the show runs every night. The public would have absolutely loved it!! And even though they didn’t get to see it, I’m grateful that I got to be a part of such an amazing group. When it comes down to it, life is about enjoying the little moments. My time as a swing in rehearsals for GGLAM was full of so many little moments of laughter. When I add it all up, I realize that the show brought me a whole lot of JOY, and no virus can take that away!!
Aside from rehearsals, I spend a lot of time with my best friend / roommate Marley Runk. We watched many ice skating videos, listened to records, and danced. Very grateful for her.
Junior Cabaret was such a good time. My brother, grandma, dad, and step-mom surprised me by showing up to the show. I was elated. I love them so much and to know they travelled so far to watch me perform for 20 minute meant the world to me. My stepmom bought me a bunch of thai food that we ate that night in the hotel after my performance. Also my rockstar mom got to watch the performance through facebook livestream. I wish she could have been there in person, but I’m happy she got to see the recording:)
I travelled with my classmates Emma Kate and Grace Dillon for summer stock auditions in Chicago. We stayed with my twin brother Ben. Colin (another one of our classmates) met us in Chicago at the natural history museum. The five of us had So. Much. Fun.
After Chicago, Emma Kate and I spent spring break in Florida with her grandparents (who are angels). We went to Universal Studios for a day, stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel, and attended a drum circle on the beach.
Goal for March: Make a reasonable to-do list every day.
Advice: If I could go back in time and give February Hannah advice, I would tell her, “drink more water”. I also would tell her to, “take ownership of your classwork. Don’t strive for perfection. Strive to be a part of a story onstage. Think of every performance as your last”. \
