Have you ever wondered who would play you if your life was portrayed in a movie? I have. Who would be a good me? I mean, besides
from Denzel Washington. (Obviously he and I are a resounding match.)
What? You don't see the resemblance? It's because I'm not wearing a tie, isn't it? Use your imagination, people.
Last
night I saw a small glimpse of my life played out -- not on
the screen, but on the stage -- when Cynthia Mazzant, a talented
playwright and co-founder of Tempest Productions, drew from the works of several talented authors and poets and wove them into the dialogue and monologues in Sunshine, Lollipops & Rainbows, an interactive play set at a bridal shower. I was honored -- and humbled -- to be featured among them.
I watched as the humorous, heartbreaking, and complex rituals of women were dramatized before me, and I listened as these words of mine were beautifully delivered. Let me tell you, this was special.
My warm thanks goes out to Cynthia, Tempest Productions, and the actors for such a touching adaptation.

I think it's the lack of mustache that's making it hard for me to see the comparison. Congratulations, Robin!
ReplyDeleteI thought the piece about the The First Last was beautiful! Made me cry!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Cynthia and the daughter did such a great job with this part! Made me tear up, too.
ReplyDeleteI loved hearing Cullen's name embedded in the monologue from your piece!
I totally overlooked the mustache. Good point.
ReplyDelete... and thanks, Christiane!
