what if there are no damsels in distress?

At 2:15 (“I found a woman I love”) when he scans the front row and then waves to someone?

THAT WOULD BE ME.

And then I got a “Heyyyyy you!” and a hug backstage.

Lancaster’s Broadway babies talk about success, hard work and being in a big show

Jonathan Groff, Catherine Walker and Eliseo Roman have a lot of things in common.

All three were born and raised in Lancaster County, caught the performing bug early in their lives and had supportive families that helped them reach their goal of becoming working actors.

They all appeared at local theaters like The Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre, Ephrata Performing Arts Center and the Fulton Theatre, though they never worked on a show together.

And right now, they are all starring in Broadway shows.

“Running of the interns outside the Supreme Court 6/26/2015″

LET ME FURTHER ELABORATE ON THE HILARITY OF THE BEST AMERICAN POLITICAL PRACTICE TO EXIST, “THE ANNUAL RUNNING OF THE INTERNS”: 

RECORDINGS ARE NOT ALLOWED INSIDE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. SO WHEN A DECISION IS MADE, COPIES ARE HANDED TO MEMBERS OF THE PRESS INSIDE THE BUILDING IN A PRESS ROOM WHO THEN LEAVE THEIR ROOM TO HAND THE COPIES OF THE RULING TO THEIR INTERNS (WHO AREN’T ALLOWED INSIDE THE PRESS ROOM) 

(PICTURED: INTERNS FROM 2013, WAITING FOR THEIR RUN)

AND THEN THE INTERNS HAVE TO DELIVER THE COURT RULINGS WHILE THE JUSTICES ARE ANNOUNCING THEIR DECISION INSIDE THE COURTROOM ITSELF. 

SO THE INTERNS RUN THROUGH THE SUPREME COURT BUILDING FROM OUTSIDE THE PRESS ROOM TO OUTSIDE, ACROSS THE PAVED WALKWAYS, AND DOWN THE STAIRS OF THE COURTHOUSE AREA INTO THE BROADCASTING PRESS PEN IN THE STREET.

(A PREVIOUS YEAR’S INTERN RUN WINNER)

INTERNS ARE TOLD THEY MAY TO THROW SOME ELBOWS IF NECESSARY.

 AND ALL ARE RACING TO BE THE FIRST TO DELIVER THE COURT RULINGS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE BROADCASTERS WHO ARE WAITING TO GO ON AIR

PICTURED IN FRONT IS YESTERDAY’S INTERN WINNER LAUREN WHO SAID SHE “JUST LIKED TO WIN” WHEN SHE PULLED CLEAR AHEAD TO DELIVER THE OBAMACARE RELATED DECISION. 

KEEP IN MIND THE DECISIONS READ ON THE BENCH ARE POSTED ONLINE A FEW MINUTES LATER SO THIS WHOLE PROCESS CURRENTLY EXISTS BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO WAIT THAT LONG.

Opia: The ambiguous intensity of Looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.

Don’t let the world define you. In the world of acting, and I think in any profession really, people are really eager to put you in a box and categorize you as one particular thing. Make sure that you always follow your heart and your gut, and let yourself be who you want to be, and who you know you are. And don’t let anyone steal your joy.
