I've started doing my research on the Old Vic Theater due to my passion for the UK basically. I mistakeingly mashed the web of art withoutout a spindle. By that I mean I ve done every this known in the arts industry and by exercising my work through allot of freelance projects. Today , yes who doesnt admire the genius, Kevin Spacey , I m sure we all absorb the brilliance he puts out there , and for the audience to become effected by mere art itself. I commend him for being so unselfish, maybe that is why he like his privacy , because his art as acting or performing is simply just a part of his being. I hope to find my being , my purpose , and theater is one revenue I finaly feel my provide me with and , thus far has, the answers I 've been waiting for in my life to arrive. What I mean by arriving is , my purpose , art is everywhere in theater, Im not a actress but Ive nearly 150 talents in music and art, and adminsitration, advertising , make up, costumes. So if I was able to go to see this on broadway 'A moon for the misbegotten', I would learn allot and enjoy yet another great contribution Mr. Spacey radiates in thhis fun and complicating world of performing arts. I thank you , I just wish I didnt livve in California, oh well, someday soon , Ill be in the UK, and if not there , count on me marking this on my goakls. New York here I come to see some real stuff, { for a day or two. lol}
Echo Renee Whaley. thanks Kevin , you rock
