EGOT - or the bucket list

So I'm chillin' here, watching the Tony's on youtube, post rehearsal with such a gratitude in my heart.

Yeah that's cheesy and cliche but let me explain.

I'm chosen to pursue the coolest career in the world.  To be a performer. You may notice that I didn't say actor.  I feel like that word is too narrow to describe what I'm aiming for.

So let me tell you about my bucket list.

I'd like to EGOT.
The EGOT is a series of the highest awards that those in the performing arts could aim for.
Emmy
Grammy
Oscar
Tony

I want to do it all. You may say I'm a dreamer...but I'm not.

I look forward to the day I've got an role in an NBC sitcom (heck I'll take CBS too)
I will stick it to The Man and give the best concerts.
The role of a life time, in a movie I'm proud of.
Then gracing the stage, living moment to moment 8 shows a week.

I left rehearsal today so excited. This year at the Winnipeg Fringe Festival I get to play the innocent neighbour of the Devil in a show I helped write and the sassy, and crassy gal in a wonderful quartet in a show I have adored from afar.

I feel so blessed to be doing this here in Winnipeg, and the natural next step is to move to a bigger city with more opportunities.
Chasing the EGOT.
Whats going to happen? Who knows.
But my gut says go.
I'll be lookin' at you through the glimmer of sparkly trophies.
