Episode 291: I Could Fly"You just break my heart, even in rehearsals;" Adria’s director gushed, leading the applause at the end of her pivotal scene in The Glass Menagerie. "I swear girl; you could throw down with Meryl and Julianne any day of the week."Walking on air, Adria Marques floated to the payphone, in love with life, alive and unwilling to bridle her joy any longer. "Daddy, it’s Adria." "I’m in a business meeting, can this wait?" "No. I need to tell you I’m majoring in theatre, I actually have been all along and last summer I did an indie film when you thought I was working with Bassie, it didn’t get picked up but that’s okay because it’s actually the stage I love. I’m doing The Glass Menagerie, would you and mom come see me in it?" Adria finally allowed herself to breathe big gulps of air, until Daddy pricked her balloon.

The boy I’ve, had a crush on since I was fourteen. He’d have had to drive hours or taken a plane. To see me?" |
