Almost My Agent

As I am still in a sharing mood after last week’s post I thought today I would turn my attention to the maternal side of my family and “introduce” you to my Grandma Lawrence.  She is without a doubt my biggest fan and almost my agent.  In fact, the first show that I ever produced and starred in was in 2003 and I am sure that she is directly responsible for at least 100 of the 400 people in the theatre that night.

Truthfully, without a constant source of support this type of career would be almost impossible – and Grandma is that support for me.  I almost think that she has seen more of my shows than I have and my friends now call her “Grandma” (even some of my friends that are over 50 themselves).  She was even briefly featured during Magically Delicious a couple of weeks ago:
