#KindnessCounts

I'm off!  Well, almost...  I leave the city on Friday morning with my boyfriend.  Although I am beyond ecstatic about our adventure of a summer in Colorado and the amazing shows and roles he and I will play while we are out there, since I have been back in the city I have a huge sigh of relief and confirmation on how much I love living here.  Much less, how much I love my freaking apartment! Anyway, a get together tonight, seeing friends tomorrow, and meeting my niece of Friday in Baltimore with my brother and sister in law.  Word on the street is that she looks like me, which I have to admit, I don't hate. :) So, that's all for now.  BUT I am leaving some of my favorite headshots/body shots/and me being stupid fun (ie being ME) thanks to my friend Tom Waltz for taking them!   Enjoy and feel free to leave comments on your favorites!  Love love, Adrienne

It's a new post because soon, I'm turning the page and starting a new chapter.   I have spent the last (almost) nine months at the Palace Theatre in Manchester, New Hampshire.  Perhaps one of the hardest jobs I have ever taken on, due to long hours, constant multi tasking, living in cast housing, and sometimes just learning how to do certain parts of my job!  It's been an ever changing, ever learning, ever awesome experience in which I have learned SO much. In my nine months at the Palace, I have:  Choreographed the PYT production of Alice in Wonderland Jr. Choreographed the PYT production of Mulan Jr. Choreographed the PYT production of Annie Jr.  Taught 3 dance classes every weekend to the Apprentice, Intermediate, and Advanced Teen Companies.   Choreographed and Co-Directed the Apprentice Company's production of Honk Jr. Choreographed and Co-Directed the Apprentice Company's production of Dear Edwina Jr.   Perfor...

So, I'm going to admit to something...   This was not my first attempt to start a blog for the new year.   ...Actually, this is my fifth try... Which is odd for me, to say the least.  I'm used to getting an idea (whether it is for the stage, for my website, for my blog or for my life) and pretty much running with it.  Now, I will be honest.  Five months ago, I somehow believed that I could, and moreover, would , post a picture everyday.  Although there was a certain novelty in this brilliant idea--letting my friends and family see what I've been up to, making myself unwind with creative non fictional writing, so on and so forth--it just wasn't feasible because, let's face it, when I did have the time, I was so exhausted that even the thought of looking at the computer disgusted me. And thus, I obviously backed away into a corner with my tail between my legs, accepting the defeat that I did not, and will not be posting a picture everyday nor blo...

Okay.  So I'm not denying it.  Or saying I haven't known full well that I've been...well, sort of behind.  But let's face it... Life happened and I sort of fell behind IT.  So I couldn't much keep up with the blog in addition to the amount of things I was trying to keep up with.   -hangs head- Shameful.   So, this morning, I ventured back to my blog, I thought to myself, 'Oh, I know I've been slacking but it can't be THAT bad.  It can't be THAT long since my last post..." September 30th.   September 30th?!   Um.   This is what I have to say to that. So.   In this respect, I have NO idea where to start.  But I CAN share pictures and tell a little readers digest of the last month and a half.   Since my last post I have enjoyed an apple orchard and apple donuts. Good for a dancer, I know... I've worked hard...carving pumpkins.    I told you.  Hard work. Apple pieeeeee...
