Off The Record Jessie Dez. To say this was a memorable experience would be an understatement. The show took place on an actual moving train, the Brightline! As a performer, this was the coolest set ever. You really felt like you were on a train going to the North Pole. Being able to bring the magic of Christmas to children and families every night was magical. January , Grease! First, it was the first professional show I had ever been cast for as an actress.
Third, I gained beautiful friendships from this cast that are still strong today. Our venue was at the Lauderhill Performing Arts Center and it was beautiful. If any of my old cast-mates are reading this, thank you for making this experience so wonderful. We perform at many venues throughout the year and it has been so rewarding singing and honoring WWII veterans around the state. Not to mention, our outfits are an added bonus to an already fabulous show! This was my first show I had ever directed so I was very excited.
Even though directing can be overwhelming at times, especially on your first go-around, my kids made it worthwhile. I consider myself very lucky to have had the most talented and sweetest kids in the world. Not to mention, my amazing cast and crew that made our show go the next level. I am very proud to say that our production of The Little Mermaid Jr.
I really enjoyed directing and having the creative freedom to make my ideas come to life. Being able to sit back and enjoy watching a show I directed was very heartwarming. It was one of my most proudest moments. It truly has been a full circle moment for me being back at the same venue I started back in Michael Ursua is our director and he has made the rehearsal process as stress-free as possible, which is hard to find these days.

This past year I have learned a lot about myself and the theater industry. I am very proud of the year that I have had and I think this is just the beginning for me.
