As I contemplate everything that could potentially go wrong with this show, as I tend to do, I pause to remind myself that I have made a fool of myself many times in the past...and somehow survived it.
Anyone who has ever done a one-woman or one-man show knows...it's daunting. A LOT of memorization, but beyond that....you are putting yourself out there, alone. If it fails, it's because of YOU. And, who wants to fail? Most of us spend our lives doing everything we can to avoid failure. Take it from me. Avoiding failure is a lot of work. And, unfulfilling.
My show is my thoughts...me...and I am doing it for many reasons, but mainly because I am afraid to do it. Yet, simultaneously compelled to do it. Weird, I know. But, without exception, every time I have faced a fear and pushed through it, it has taken me one step closer to who I'm supposed to be.
And, if this experience, this show, takes me one step closer to who I'm supposed to be, it will be a good thing. No matter what.
