New Years is all about resolutions. We make them just so we can eventually break them, right? The few I made at the beginning of 2014 were simple: see more theater and go to every audition I can. So I worked my butt off and made my own success. And even though this year was filled with not so fun, not so good things as well, I still, somehow, managed to follow all my resolutions till the last day of 2014. (Pat yourself on the back, Aneesh; you go, girl.) I made it to 31 auditions and saw 24 productions. Meh, I can so do much better this year. So, in the upcoming year, I plan to maintain my previous goals and add to that: physical exercise (I mean who doesn't make a resolution to be in better shape every New Years Eve?), make more time to see friends and family (none of this 'haven't seen you in weeks/months/years' bullsh*t anymore), and expand on my career exponentially. This year I plan to produce again and I also hope to add another directing credit to my name. Lastly, as something really close to my heart, I hope to get my webseries produced. (The time for #girlslikeus is now. Plus feedback from readings has been really good, so why not! Curious?...) It's amazing to see how many mutuals friends I have with people that Facebook suggest I add. I have had the immense pleasure of meeting so many new people this past year; 96 new faces to be exact. (Whether that's a testament to my naturally sweet and friendly demeanor [really?] or proof that the Seattle Freeze may be a myth, who knows.) But I can now say I have friends! Yay! (Unless y'all are being secretly paid.... wait...is that what's been really happening?...) In conclusion, I am taking a new friend's challenge and listing every show I've seen in 2014. If I learned anything from compiling this list, it's that I simply MUST see more theatre in 2015. [Shows I was a part of have an asterisk (*). Shows I've seen multiple times are indicated by a number.] Shows I've Seen in 2014 <----- hey! that rhymes!
