Never Too Late

Last fall I wrote a play for a contest sponsored by Writer's & Books and Geva Theater here in Rochester, NY. I'd never written a play before but thought it might be fun. The most difficult part of the project was settling on an idea to write about. The rest just fell into place as I chose something that was dear to my heart. I chose to write about following a dream, and never giving up.

I finished the play and submitted it just before the deadline, almost deciding a number of times to forget about it because I figured it would be long shot anyway. But I decided to take my own advice and give it a try. I was shocked to get the news that it had been chosen as one of ten that would be performed! Let me say, I was also delighted. And seeing it come to life was a wonderful experience that I'll never forget.

Below is a link to the video of the performance. My hope is that it will "speak" to you and encourage you. I'm living proof that it's never too late to follow your dreams!
