Karen's Story
Life
Other than the fact that I was born, am currently living, and will one day be dead, what can I say? Hmmm....
I will never again drive through the state of Wyoming; two accidents at the exact same mile marker are enough, thank you.
I can't say I expected I'd end up in Ohio, but it wasn't nearly as bad as youd think. Since I went there, I finally did what I wanted to since I was nine years old but never told anyone. How do you break it to your family, when they expect you to pursue a doctorate, that you want to be a "comic," so to speak? Well, you just do it. You wake up one day and decide that while being an insurance agent pays the bills, it isn't bringing the joy in your life.
My troupe self-produced our first show over two years ago and we played several shows since then. We also performed on stage with a bunch of great folks who love this as much as us every Tuesday and I co-produced another show every other Thursday with one of my cast mates. We must...Expand for more

I've put theater on hold for a couple months, but at least I'm no longer in the work-release program that many folks still endure every day (read: cube-dwelling). Now I actually enjoy going to work; I'm at an art gallery in Disney World. (I think I can type that without adding trademarks....) There are quite a few stages down here, too, and I plan to be on one or four of them in the not-too-distant future.
Even though Second City Cleveland closed and several of my friends and now I have moved to different cities in pursuit of the same goal, the dream is still there! One thing I've learned after all the twists and turns (both literal and figurative) in my life is that while you never know what's coming next, it's always something ;)
One last lesson learned: never let your more evil-inclined actor friends have access to your account. Yes, Mel, you spelled "mezzanine" correctly... but who am I supposed to be in that "before" picture?
