a year agoNow that the word is out, I can finally post about the coolest day of my life. This past spring, I got to play young Dolly Parton at the first table read of her new musical about her life…. in front of DOLLY PARTON. I cannot even believe that is a real thing I’m saying !!! ⚰️
You never know what the future holds for any project (& with this one it is still very early days), but regardless, it was so freaking cool to be in that room with only 15 actors, Dolly, and her co-writer Maria, laughing and crying while telling her story. Once in a lifetime magic. 🥹 ps- the show is INCREDIBLE. So witty, fiery, hilarious, genuine, heartfelt and deeply touching. Just like Dolly.
Endless thanks to @mariasschlatter who saw Titanique and reached out after because she saw Dolly in me. You are an angel and I will never be able to thank you enough!
If we were all a little more like Dolly, the world would be a better place. Stone soup. 🦋
