I didn’t realize how someone asking me to write a blog would send me into a tailspin of identity crisis and panic about not having my own opinion about anything, let alone art. I blame this on being a fresh mom of two, where I basically live in an echo …

Lee Brock: Healing
I’m sitting in rehearsal with K. Lorrel Manning, working on his one-person show, “Lost…Found.” He says a line about his father. He stops, overcome with emotion. “That just hit me so hard for the first time.” I look at Christine Cirker, my co-director, who catches my gaze. The room gets …

Tricia Alexandro: New Year, New Habits
New Year’s resolutions have never been my thing. Which may come as a surprise since I’m not only an actor, but a longtime personal trainer and a recently-certified life coach.

Lee Brock: The Aspen Grove
In 2017, The Barrow Group held our thirty-year anniversary party. As I stood in the lobby, next to a large blue painting that still hangs in our space, a dear friend came up to me, gave me a big huge smile, and said, “Lee Brock, you are an aspen tree.” …
