As my website announced I am preparing for an orchestra concert in January and when this year began I thought: "How wonderful, a new challange"...I've got my year mapped out...Well Ha...as they say in my Mother's Church: "if you want to hear GOD laugh...tell him/her YOU got a plan".
I am diligently working on my lovely music and what I thought was my centerpiece of work for the year has become my refuge...my quiet focus time...to clarity the music..what a joy and an opportunity...
BUT the WORK...is the Play Reading Series I am creating...The response to the first reading was positive to be humble (which I am learning fast...humility)...the support to unearth new works buried in trunks and storage bins for years has been absolutely mind boggling...I am summoned to meetings with people (who shall remain nameless for now) that I grew up reading about...Celebrities and Corporate Magnates alike along with Actors are willing to partner in this dream...
What a challenge. I am approached by actors I know (and some I have only seen perform) to be involved in this process...What an honor...I am proud of my core actors and will work with them to create a formidable ENSEMBLE that can tackle any works...a multi racial task force of skilled, talented actors...
My projects now concentrate on the Black Community...Historically and contemporary...but that will not always be and I can't wait to address those scripts that feature the issues of All of our society...like LOIS'S WEDDING that focuses on our environmental and greed issues...
So welcome to my "new normal". I am not obtuse enough to think I am planning anything...just stepping out in space with Faith and letting it happen.
Love You Madly,
LYNNIE GODFREY
