At 60, my goal is to fully enjoy this phase of life, to maximize my opportunities and live, whenever possible, with gusto! Which is why I audition for Humboldt Light Opera Company’s summer’s production of “Cinderella.” Much to my surprise, I landed the role of the Stepmother! I am having a blast! Surrounded as I am by mere “youngsters” (no, they didn’t cast a Boomer Cinderella!) I watch these young people with real appreciation. They are an enthusiastic lot, ready and willing to collaborate to produce the best show possible! It’s great fun to be a part of something that is pure escapism from daily life. Now … if I can just get all of those pesky lines memorized! Ah aging, it is a fascinating process!
