A note from Abby:

Hi! I wanted to take a minute & share with you something that I have been thinking a lot about recently. During my last couple of shows, I was asked a similar question by 2 different people. At Lost Girl, during a talk back, I was paid an amazing compliment & asked what my process was for getting up there & performing such a complex character every time. After Frozen, someone who had come to see my 1st show & my last asked me “after performing several shows, how was it that your performance at the final show was just as good, if not better, than the 1st?”

My answer may be difficult to understand, there is a quote that sums it up pretty well - “It starts with introspection, and then you have to be brave”. In short, at the end of the day, it’s not me performing several shows. It’s The Baker’s Wife, Wendy, or Elsa, or JoJo living these events in their lives. For my character, every performance is their first time experiencing those events. As an actor, I want nothing more than the audience to see something of themselves in me, so giving every performance like it’s both my characters first and my last achieves that goal. It’s all about the audience. I always think of what Stanislavski said - “love art in yourself, and not yourself in art”. 

An excellent cast and crew absolutely help to make it all possible. Regardless of the size of the production, everyone has their individual roles to maintain the illusion. There is no doubt - theatre is a team sport. We are all responsible for each other. We are — ‘Ohana. We laugh, we love, we fight. But, in the end, we all have the same goal: Put on the best production possible! The only way that happens is together.

The things I love most about theatre are that it is unpredictable & fleeting. In theatre, the only thing that is certain is that nothing is certain -- ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME! that’s not a bad way to live a life.

Thank you so very much for visiting, feel free to stay a while & look around.

Oh and...Go See A Show!

Much love,

A
