Acting

I am Phoebe Roome DIxon.   I am a very young 86 year old!   Yes, you heard that right.  86 years old! I model, I act, and I am also a folk singer having recorded four albums (The Bergerfolk ) on Folkways Records with my former husband and five children.  And, I even perform at senior centers and children’s parties.  I was born in Brooklyn and was on stage from kindergarten all the way through the 6th grade. The stage is where I felt alive. I felt free, like I could be myself. Normal kids...

My name is Taylor Hay. I am fifteen, an actress, and a cancer survivor. I am telling my story to attest to the fact that anyone, at any age, with whatever hardship life has thrown at them, can still be happy and successful. My story starts at a young age. I started acting when I was four, after literally bugging my mom to death after watching her work in the industry. I begged her for an agent, classes, or anything that would help me be more like her. After pestering her for months, she fina...

Let me take you back to the summer of '07, where a father takes his little 12-year old son with him to his work. They had never really talked about his fathers’ work. Of course, the boy kind of knew what his father did, but he was never this close. The father explained to him how he was working on this particular project and that maybe the boy would like to see how everything worked. The big day, as his father called it, was in Amsterdam. Dad asked the little boy to prepare a movie scene wit...

Remembering Robin Williams There’s been much written regarding the passing of Robin Williams this week. As is always the case when someone takes their life, the search for understanding and the need for rectification dominate. But when the life in question is a celebrity of Williams' caliber, one who spent the better part of four decades making us laugh, one who through his art made us feel connected to his very being, the search and need for answers is only shadowed by the dull ache in our...

When I was asked to write a blog for Stage 32 I was extremely honored, but worried that I, as a writer/actor, would have NOTHING to say. Nothing that hasn’t been said before. Nothing unique, fresh or original, but I remembered that so much of what I teach to actors is: WALK THROUGH THE DOOR! My entire career has been based on the “YES” principle. Yes, I’ll take that role, yes, I’ll commit to the path, yes, I’ll write the blog. Yes, Yes, YES. Actress Ruth Gordon got booted out of The Acad...

So where do I begin? Believe it or not I have memories from the age of three or four (does this mean I am getting Alzheimer’s?). I was in the Public dispensary in Leeds having my adenoids seen to and remember being put on a trolley and asking ‘Where are we going?’ The porter wheeling me responded with ‘To the theatre’ to which I replied ‘What’s on?’ So there must have been some early desire to tread the boards, although I didn’t realise as much at the time. In those days repertory theatre wa...
