I am in love.

I am in love with a group of people. A group of people, that makes me happier than I have been in years. A group of people who have given me back a piece of myself I thought couldn't have back.

I left college and with it I left musical theater and the sheer joy I got from being in it, directing it, producing it, photographing it, lighting it.... anything. I left behind those rare people who are not only actors and singers, but academics and highly analytical. I was spoiled rotten by my experience at Simon's Rock. I was spoiled by John Weinstein, Gigi Teeley, Jay Embree, Kiko, Rich, Loren, Adam, Chloe, Rebecca, Lauren, Ardis, Evan, Jess, Tadd, Isaac, John William...

I left college and spent 3 years wondering if I could ever find this again - People like me, who love theater, love music, drama, art, but whom are philosophers, lawyers, historians, professors, psychologists...

4 days before the start of the school year, I was given the very last spot at Georgetown Law off the waitlist. A waitlist that had not moved for 2 months. A spot opened up 4 days before the start of school and it was given to me. Law school was not going to be my vehicle back into art. It was in many ways a resignation that i would not be doing this anymore, that i had to come to terms with that. But yes the world works in mysterious ways, and I was given this spot at Georgetown, the only law school with its very own theater group.

I cannot begin to chronicle the experiences that i have had over the past 9 months with this group. What I can say, is that suddenly, I find myself having perfect moments again. Moments where I feel like I am around people who really are like me, who get me... Moments where there is not the slightest shred of anything missing.

Maybe law school was not supposed to give me back a chance to sing, act, produce, do publicity, learn lighting design, hire directors... butI found this group, I was elected to the Board of Directors and... it just did. And that takes my breath away.

I'm in love with this.
