    The rest of the day went pretty quick. We did two more scenes and then I went home. It was nice seeing you.

    Happy New Sonya,
    Sorry it took so long to reconnect. It was great meeting you at the seminar in
    October. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the site. After viewing your's it is clear that I need to update. One of my resolutions is to get more techno-savvy (ha!ha!)

    Hi Sonya, This is Bob from the old meetups in Providence.  I was invited to audition  for "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot".  I saw that you also audition for a role in that show.  Could you tell me the best way to get to Tremont St.  Is there parking nearby.  Should I park somewhere else and take the Red Line to Park St.  I have no idea.  I can't remember the last time I was in Boston...and I'm driving up from Narragansett RI.  Thanks.
