"How do you document real life when real life's getting more like fiction each day?"
I'd like to start off here by thanking all of you wonderful people who reached out to me after my last post (which, I know, was two months ago now; I'll be blogging regularly from here on out). It really touched my heart to receive such kind words and thoughtful gestures from those who read my posting. Thank you so very much. You have no idea what that means to me.
Picking myself up, dusting myself off, starting to push ahead - that's where I'm at right now. One of the events that will help me do this is something I want to tell all of you about.
At 7:30 p.m. this evening, Anthony Rapp will be speaking at Southern Connecticut State University's Adanti Center Theater. For those of you unfamiliar with his name, Rapp was one of the original cast members of the Pulitzer Prize & Tony award-winning musical "Rent." He has also appeared on stage in other productions (including "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"), acted in films (including "Dazed and Confused," "Six Degrees of Separation" and "A Beautiful Mind") and released a studio album in 2000 called "Look Around."
The appearance at SCSU is part of his book tour for 2006's "Without You: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and the Musical Rent." Admission is free, and I encourage everyone to head there tonight. Even if you aren't a Rent-head, Rapp's talk has something to offer anyone who has ever been torn between great joy and greater sadness, or who has struggled to come to terms with who they are.
I plan to attend and will post reflections on the event later this evening. Hope to see you there!
