Patty Maltman Blaine: Actor, production manager and production assistant in San Diego, California.

I like your post. Time and again the universe keeps pulling me towards this field and I had to resist as I was the supermom, I was the one who would get called for "titanic" and have to turn it down as I had a water polo team scheduled for a beach week end. I did theater as a child, but it was just a matter of coincidence that my daughter dragged me to casting calls, for herself, she even majored in Theater, yet I got the call backs.. I worked pharmacy for years and one income outweighed the other. I could work backstage in community theater, but never anything exclusively for myself.. I am at a point in my life where I can pursue things that I enjoy, for myself, for no other reason.. I love the website.. at least fifty percent of the people in my life love, live and breathe theater, regardless of the medium.. I am just going to go with the flow and see what happens... If nothing else, perhaps I can be the connector.. Kudos for doing what you love!!!
