One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After performing in the US National Tour of Annie, I could say I'd run my way across the country. Seeing the entire nation in my running shoes, no matter where we were playing that week (or just that day) was an unforgettable experience. Seeing the corn grow in the fields of Indiana, transported in trucks through the north, then moved to the transport ships in Seattle's harbors was something I will be forever grateful for.

Oh, and I befriended an Amish family in Indiana while doing a dinner theatre show there a couple of years ago. Ask me about my blog, you can get all the hilarious details. :)
