Dear Theatre, Love Chelsea

As I'm getting more in touch with my character in "The Stronger," the more I'm realizing this role is a dead-on 1950's version me. And sometimes that's really fun! And sometimes, not so much. Only because I'm so vulnerable and real, if that makes any sense? :)
I love acting. I didn't know I'd love it so much while I was growing up until my sophomore year in high school. I'm so grateful for that first show and the many that followed. I'm grateful for all the shows I didn't make. I'm grateful for the directors who patiently endured with me my auditions and rehearsals. I'm grateful for the friends I've made through theater. I'm grateful for the drama queens. (haha) I'm grateful for the lessons I learned after being a drama queen: shut up and be humble. :)
Senior year of high school, Into the Woods. Rapunzel.
But most of all, I'm grateful for the changes I've made personally through theater. 
Theater has taught me to be open minded.

Theater has taught me to dig deep, find levels, find reasons, find objectives. To never stop fighting.
