SAPPY POST ALERT: Today's #tbt is a tribute to the "Much Ado Crew". In 2006, I was cast in my first professional show-- #MuchAdoAboutNothing with St. Louis Shakespeare. Though the production was quite lovely, the rehearsal process was awful. Like...terrible. .
As we like to recount, trauma brings people together, and my cast mates from that show were bonded for life. Twelve years later, these people are still part of my inner circle. I have stood up in their weddings...walked with them in their struggles...and watched them grow to be some of the most influential actors, directors, and producers in St. Louis.
.
By pure happenstance, I was able to be in town last month for a celebration for Dustin, and got to see just a few of these lifelong friends. .
Young ones: you may loathe a job, but it might bring with it a set of friends who you trust in every sense and with whom you can CREATE REAL ART in the face of adversity. I love them.

Epilogue--Suki is now Artistic Director for #StLouisShakespeare. Chew on that, Carolyn.
Note--We are missing a TON of people in this photo (especially you, @johnwolbers) but you were with us in spirit that night.
