Steinbeck Calling hits the radio!


I'm an actress now! I'm a radio start! :) All these great claims are indeed true, thanks to Eric Vollmer and the Public Works Improv Theater Group --and to Brenda P. for believing in me! I've been portraying Maria Lopez from Steinbeck's "Pastures of Heaven". It's been a lot of fun working with Carmen Vega and the cast of Dust Bowl characters!

This Monday, we were invited to perform our production at Skidrow Studios in Downtown LA, hosted by Melvin Johnson as part of the Qumran Report. The entire footage is here! Thanks to the Skidrow Studios for Vodcasting us and running the live recording! How exciting!

My reading from John Steinbeck's Las Pasturas del Cielo/The Pastures of Heaven co-starting Poet Carmen Vega, starts at 14:00 minutes!

See the entire transcript: http://www.skidrowstudios.com/the-qumran-report/2015-02-17/39944/qumran-report-public-works-improvisation-theater-steinbeck-calling

I remember the 30s (Steinbeck's account of the 1930s), Pastures of Heaven, Of Mice ad Men, The Grapes of Wrath, plus Ross Altman singing Woody Guthrie's Ballad of Tom Joad.

One Month Away!

In one month, I get to marry the most loving person I've ever met in my lifetime! Juan Adrian Cardenas, thank you for loving me.   Te amo! I have been in bliss ever since I've met him...and I can't believe how well I could ever get along with another human being. This is a wonderful gift, and I hope all of humanity gets the opportunity to experience this. Dreams come true. You must NEVER give up on yourself. You must also believe that you are WORTH every bit of happiness. You must cherish YOURSELF first before you find true love... True Love Never Diez... :) Love for yourself is really the primary thing...do what you love, be who you want to be... and your energy will exude into the ether...sending out pheromones, this is the attraction. Be yourself... you ARE the attraction. It's so possible, just never give up...that is my advice. Not sure if anyone asked, but I had to write this down. This is the path I've taken, which has led me to Juan. Led ...

To my brother:

To my brother: you are my unconditional love. never was there any more, never shall there be any less. <3 you showed me that it was possible to be happy with myself, even when I refused to see past the haze of insecurity. i am sitting here, wanting to share words with you. all i can think of is a silent prayer to you for hopes that the words would finally come. i love you, anthony. always.
