Cynthia Mercati

Cynthia Mercati said,"Always my primary motivation is to tell a good story, keep the audience entertained, and slip in a few words about my eternal theme—never give up! I've been writing since I could write—my mother says before I could write, I drew pictures and told stories out loud—and my theme never seems to vary. It's always about the little person fighting back against overwhelming odds [who], because of a lively determination and energetic perseverance, always prevails—be it in baseball, World War II, or coming to America.

    Thank you all so much for being so supportive about my audition! I loved getting so many encouraging notes and texts! :)

    This being said, I feel I have been so stressed/obsessed with my ACU audition that i let one act just kind of slide by this last week or two. Well i am here to tell you that i am back and ready to recommit completely. Nothing else is going to come between me and all of you again. This is what i live for and what i thrive on and intend to show it from now on. I apologize for my absence and I'm ready and glad to be back and work hard! See you guys tomorrow!

    Love you all

  5. FAMILY!!!!!!

    sorry I have been gone for so long...I think I was gone from school 4 days this week...gah.

    I think that our family is blessed to have people to stand up in an absence. Thanks o Molly for playing my part!?!

    I like the quotes too...never give up. I am so excited. I feel way rusty at this point. We can do so much, mainly me, to get better. Everyday is a journey.

    GUYS, WE CAN DO THIS! THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND.

    see everyone tomorrow...finally!

  9. Once again, I can't stop thinking about TSTS and I've come up with another idea... Though this one is a little more... Not really "out there", but it might stretch some boundaries...

    This time, I was thinking about the thugs... And while you guys are doing SO MUCH BETTER than when you started... I think it could be better.

    See... Just as I was saying with the women all comforting each other the same way... When the thugs come in, they are all evil the SAME WAY. What I mean is... They all come in, trying to look tough... But the farthest they go is holding us and stroking our faces... After Zack was told to stroke Lizzie's face, that opened things up for the rest of the thugs, but now that's as far as any of them go. And I don't think the audience is going to hate you guys... And we WANT THE AUDIENCE TO HATE YOU!

    So... I was reading through the original script, thinking about this. And I came across a part that I had forgotten about. In the original scene, one of the thugs actually forces a kiss on Bridget. Could we try something like that? Like, maybe ATLEAST have one of them TRY to kiss one of us but then we kick them where the sun doesn't shine or something? Because as tough as you guys look *COUGH*... I don't think that anyone really, truly believes it yet. I know that I want the audience to hate you, and right now... I think there's definately room to grow there.

    Again, just throwing that out there.
