Once upon a time, a girl got engaged to a Biochemistry degree and her family was very proud. Then one day, she was dazzled by a charming Spotlight. Her family and friends thought she was crazy and begged her to reconsider but the girl couldn't be without her new love. One day they decided to run away together so she packed away her lab coat and text books and left for the Theatre. Six years later she returned. She and the Spotlight had been married and in her time away she had acted in and directed many shows, was now an in-demand vocalist and had begun teaching others how to find their own spotlights. Her family then understood that this had been her path all along and they rejoiced for the brave and beautiful woman she had become. Now, I am an Actress (film/theatre)... Acting Coach...
