2013...2014...and beyond!

I know many of you have been wondering where the Winskyes are going to end up. So have we! We've finally determined that for at least the next year, we will be in Florida, living in ither Tampa or Orlando, depending on where the work is (so if you need to hire a Stage Manager/Production Manager/Theatre instructor or professor/Event Planner, hit me up!). We will be back in Orlando June 25th, and in Tampa July 2 through at least the end of August. In all the packing and cleaning, I'm once again looking back.

This time last year:

Waikiki

And this year:

Kailua Beach

Different beach, same lovely day with friends

Working on my thesis with my lovely and talented students

 It's been quite the year!

I realize it's been a long time...

But I've had so much going on! This final year of grad school was a whirlwind, but I'm happy to say: I'm DONE! I am Lani Winskye, Master of the Fine Arts! Over the next few posts, I will be endeavoring to recap the 8 months lost to the depths of the theatre. To my avid fans, a hearty apology for the hiatus. I know it was devastating, but never fear, being jobless and school-less leaves plenty of time for mindless rambling on the internet! Check back soon for a Graduation recap and more!

The final chapter...for now...

From April 2012...

Calling the show that was challenging to me for so many reasons, none of them related to calling cues

Aloha, from paradise. Can't wait to get off the island! This time next year we will be preparing to move to--well, we don't know where. The adventure continues!
