I never would have guessed that last summer was such a challenge for you. You always carried yourself with such poise and charisma in the courtroom.

I’m so excited for you and your own law firm!! I hope you’ll keep me in the loop about everything you’re doing.

Ruth, thank you for your kind words. I am truly humbled.
That summer was a particularly trying one for me as an advocate. With 9 contested trials in 3 months, it certainly challenged me as both an attorney and human.

I’m still trying to make a good impression on my improv elders. I’m sure they’d be impressed that someone was so moved by their performance that they left a puddle. But that would be icky, especially for me since I walk around bare foot on that floor every week at class!

I hear some of the founding members will be at my showcase. I hope I make them proud.

I’ve been surprised by how much of improv is about connecting with your fellow actors and not about trying to be funny. It’s about being in the moment. I love it – even though I’m still pretty nervous every time I step up on stage.

Great post Ruth, glad you didn’t pee your pants at the show! This might have been a completely different post if you would have peed your pants.

The Jester’Z is a fun troupe, and I hear their founding members are all geniuses. Geniusii? Either way, you’ll have a lot of fun and looking forward to seeing your showcase!
