Fantastic post Zedrick! I too discovered my passion for acting in high school. Congratulations on your recent work, I'm cheering you on!

Zedrick Restauro

Thank you Ally! Best of luck in your career. :)

Jim France

Zedrick, your blog is most inspiring and is definitely written by someone who is strong and focused. If I may tell you my story? And perhaps you can use it in a class you give or take. Who knows? I am...

@Jim I love this story. It's true it's never too late to start on a dream or rekindle the fire of a forgotten passion. I'm so glad for you and more power to you! You break legs!

Ally Matteodo

Wonderful post Armen! Your words inspire me! The life of the performer is like the story of the phoenix- we are constantly rising from the ashes to fly and soar again!

Armen Greyg

Ally Matteodo

Thanks for the post Mimi, I enjoyed it very much!

I've already fallen in love with the title: "Love IS never past tense!" Thank you Janna! Now your Mom's words will echo in my head as well-- "When you want it, you do it!"

Dar Curcio-Elsbury

Janna, you inspire me. My brain is wired similarly to yours. Began as a letter, but more of a Never To Be Sent Letter, more like an outpouring that had to be vented for I didn't know what else to do w...

Here's to living life by your own rules! Thanks for the terrific post Craig!

Craig D Griffiths

Thank you Ally. The world (and us) can only grow by challenging what is accepted norms. There will be failure, but more often then not there will be growth. I intend to grow, but I am also willing to fail.

Thank you for this excellent post. Sometimes my confidence wavers, so I appreciate the virtual pep talk!

Dawn Cobalt

Ally, I'm glad you liked it. Dawn

Ken Foley

Great article, Dawn. I'm happy to say that you don't have to be a woman to find your story inspiring! I'm glad that someone who's actually been in the thick of it is addressing this issue. Hope it inspires more creative filmmakers of the female persuasion. Congrats.

Dawn Cobalt

Thanks Ken, I'm glad you found it inspiring.

Wow Gerald! You are amazing! I'm so glad you stuck it out, I can only imagine the hardship and stress you underwent. I love your mission: Entertain. Educate.Empower. It might need to become one of my new mantras. Thank you for your post, I really enjoyed it.

Gerald Turner

Ally! Thank you for even reading my story! Definitely wouldn't want to relive that but it served its purpose. I remember making a vow to stick to those 3 E's. And now it's finally coming to life! Thank you again for your words of gratitude!!

Thank you for this brilliant and inspiring post Joleene! I loved the part about Sheryl Crow on the television above you and what you said to the solo patron at Applebee's "That's going to be me someday." You are fantastic!

Joleene DesRosiers

Thank you, Ally! Early on I realized how afraid people were with going after dreams and desires and it made me want to pursue mine even more. I think about that patron now and again. Did he wake up? D...

Thank you for sharing your story Jorge. That took courage, and it was beautifully written! Keep striving, you have all of us at Stage 32 cheering you on. We support you!

Jorge J Prieto

Thanks for the support, Ally. It's been years since someone cheered me up, since college, when my creative writing professor told me "keep writing."

Here's to even more networking and sharing in the merry month of May!

Richard "RB" Botto

Always love your positive outlook, Ally! Let's keep this train rolling!

Ally Matteodo

Great post Joleene! I loved it! I bet your play "Visiting Bammy Lewis: A Silly Little Christmas Story" would have been right up my alley! I enjoy going to plays and it sounds hysterical! You've inspired me!

Joleene DesRosiers

Hi Ally. YAY! I'm glad you're inspired. We all need that "kick-in-the-pants" from time to time -- and to be reminded that we really don't suck. :) Thanks for weighing in.

Way to go RB and company! Way to represent for Stage 32!

Richard "RB" Botto

Thanks, Ally. Any time I have the chance to share the successes our members have experienced through networking or taking webinars or classes on this platform is a gift. We're on a mission to unite and educate creatives all over the world.

Ally Matteodo

Welcome Sydney and company! I'm excited to read your content, and am thrilled to have you join the Stage 32 community.

Thanks for the post Jeff! I love stories in all their forms (novels, movies, television, comics, magazines). I love your dissection of their essence.
