One year ago today I announced that I was joining the cast of Incendiary as an understudy at Woolly Mammoth Theatre.
Today I’m delighted to announce that I’m understudying two roles for Constellation Theatre Company’s production of Is God Is which runs from June 13th - July 14th.
Fun fact: I understudied Nehassaiu deGannes in Incendiary and one of the roles I’m understudying was originated by her!
The other was originated by Jessica Frances Dukes, someone I’ve admired for many years.
Such a full-circle moment.
I’m in such a different state of mind.
I’ve been processing a lot of what happened to me at Adler and how that influenced my experience in Incendiary.
I realized that Adler reawakened all my childhood bullying issues.
I was operating from that wounded state.
It followed me to Incendiary.
It won’t follow me to Is God Is.
I’ve had incredible epiphanies.
I’ve been gifted with some powerful insights.
My self-doubt has diminished.
I’m trusting myself more.
I’m a stronger actor than I was last year.
The broken ankle gave me much-needed time to reflect.
My growth is a result of the gift of that time.
I walk into this show with a very different outlook.
I walk into this show as a different Karyn.
Maybe not so different?
More evolved perhaps?
Whatever it is, I’m grateful for the change in a year.
Come see the show.
