Opening Night Started Strong!

L to R: Sarah Baskin and Raye Levine, who play Rachel's Inner Voice and Rachel in Jennifer Rudin's Freeway

We opened last night to a packed house and a strong first performance of Freeway.

I sat next to my fellow NYU classmate and writer Matt Flynn who'd heard an earlier version of the play at NYU in the spring of 2016. Once the play started, my heart started beating and the adrenaline kicked in: a mix of tears and laughter crept through my body. The audience laughed at lines I'd never expected to be funny and gasped when the play ended.

The best part is that we have seven more performances! 

In my next series of blogs, we'll meet Freeway actors: Sarah Baskin, Peter Douglas, Raye Levine and Sawyer Spielberg and director Terry Milner.
