What’s Goin On With Me

by Jenna Kantor

It doesn’t happen to me all the time, but sometimes, I finish a gig right when I am starting to really connect with more people in the cast. I have already been having a wonderfully challenging summer. If I hadn’t been happy enough with my work situation, there was always the wonderful people who surrounded me. I truly enjoyed my experience this summer and I feel like it was only going to get better. Good people and fantastic company. Wait … I am getting sidetracked … the point I am trying to make (I think) is that good things keep coming my way. All the friendships I have made. Blessings. Every single person is a blessing. I may be doing what I love, but it would not be the same if I was amongst a group that didn’t welcome me with open arms. I am so grateful for this experience. I don’t want it to end, but it really is time for me to move onto the next part of my life. It is scary to leave a place I really could call home, but my hunger is strong and I need to be in New York. Wow. So many emotions are flowing through me right now. I have said “good-bye” so many times and it never gets easier. I really do love my life.
Here is a video I made as a farewell and thank you to the director of “Vanities.” It was one of my many wonderful experiences this summer.

  • At The Fanny Brice Audition - Dealing with Nerves
    So, here I am at the audition and I am early. An hour early. To me, for an audition, that is running late. Usually, there is a LONG LINE to sign up. Here in Evanston, Illinois, there is anything but [...]

    I am super excited for a big audition tomorrow. I think I mentioned it before. It's in Evanston, Illinois for a new production about the fabulous Fanny Brice. It is an equity call, so I do risk the [...]
  • Counting Down
    Once again, I am going to reiterate that I am not a fan of counting down a show. I don't know when my next show will be, so I want to cherish every moment I have on that stage. I may be exhausted [...]
  • Talking Crap
    This is something that happens all the time in the industry. It's impossible to avoid. I have definitely been one to be a part of it. We've all done it even if we'd like to think we don't. The worst [...]
  • Tribute to Michael Jackson
    When I heard the news this afternoon, it was my instinct to go into denial. Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital? He couldn't be dead. He's Michael Jackson. He will have more time on this [...]

    A few poor performers in my cast are struggling vocally. This is a tough thing and my heart sincerely goes out to them. It can be so frustrating when you feel like you are doing everything you can [...]

    I had one of those amazing days with three of my fellow cast members on Monday. We did a trip to Noah's Ark (waterpark) in Wisconsin and had the time of our life. We all had such a blast [...]
  • Spending Money For The Business
    I spend most of my money for this business. In many ways, I do not or barely make enough back that covers all of those expenses. I don't think people realize the costs of being a performer. It's not [...]
