My Old Stompin’ Grounds
The light lock. The actor’s lounge downstairs. Hallways. Ghosts of my younger self EVERYWHERE. And not just my ghosts – but everyone’s. David. Mitchell. Jackie. Nancy. Brooke. Jim. Alec. Judith. All of them. These spaces may LOOK empty, but I … Continue reading
My Old Stompin’ Grounds
The main theatre. Wait til you see the size of the space. We, as students, had no idea how good we had it. You get out in the real world, and you deal with scratchy black-box theatres, seating 70 people … Continue reading
My Old Stompin’ Grounds
G Studio. Scene of a million acting classes. A million rehearsals. We did a production of Lanford Wilson’s Rimers of Eldritch in G Studio – and the place was transformed into an old rickety tumbleweedy kind of town. That place … Continue reading
My Old Stompin’ Grounds
The exterior of the Fine Arts Center – where I spent the majority of my time in college. The statues say it all. It feels like so many important moments of my life happened within view of those statues. It … Continue reading
This Property is Condemned
As a senior in college, I lived in a house off-campus – which, at first, seemed like an awesome deal. It was a big breezy old stone house with a bazillion rooms and a huge yard. I slept in a … Continue reading

This is for my dear friends from high school. You know who you are. I was a senior in college here. In love for really the first time (not counting Ralph Macchio, of course). My first real boyfriend. He shows … Continue reading
Diary Friday: “As I write, Hurricane Gloria is whirling outside my window.”
This entry is from my first semester of college. I think I was about 3 weeks in at this point – living in an all girl’s dorm – referred to by the rest of the college lovingly as “The Dyke … Continue reading
“Santa Is a Racist Motherfucker.”
In college, I was hanging out with Mitchell and a couple of other friends. We were in Mitchell’s beach house “down the line” – a rickety shack where we had some of our most insane cast parties. (“Down the line” … Continue reading
College Makeup Class
I wish I had the photos of my friends as well – because I was in class with Mitchell and Jackie, and we were basically in rebellion against our required courses (brown wool leg-wraps, you understand). Either Jackie or Mitchell … Continue reading
First!
Who was your first prom date? I only had one prom date. Not for lack of trying. I asked the guy I was in love with to my junior prom and HE SAID NO. Horror. But I did end up … Continue reading
