Remaining intentional in your gestures is a mark of poise, elegance, and maturity."

Character
"An acting assistant stage manager in a theater in Canterbury, a rep theater. A small wage but just enough to get by on, and I made props and I walked on, and I changed scenery, and I realized that I just loved it."
