🎃 DIRECTOR’S NOTE 🎃

The Crucible - 2023 - Stone Church Players

………………………………………….

The Crucible is one of those shows that everyone reads in high school and so they think they know what this story is about.

I think this story is about a lot of things.

As a director, I always try to highlight the truth of a script - and the truth that kept coming to me was this quote:

“𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒍 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒊𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑮𝒐𝒅".

Ultimately, witchcraft did not have to come to Salem in order for so many people to meet their demise.

The mixture of fear and moral superiority created by the institutions that led this town were enough to bring destruction and despair.

But again, another truth: that this did not come from people with evil intentions - that this all happened (this real life event of mass murdering women that 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 happened, mind you) was the result of people acting out of their righteous intentions.

The Crucible is so relevant to us now for this reason - because now more than ever, we need a reminder of the moral gray area that we all live within.

This show offers us a mirror into our humanity, but also acts as a bit of a cautionary tale - a reminder of how much harm can be done when we choose to fight for what we believe in by blindly persecuting what we don't understand.

In many ways we are still battling witch hunts, and I hope this production is a reminder that as we all go on fighting for what we believe is right, if we stop seeing people in their full humanity along the way, the devil has already won.

There’s a difference between healing because you need to release what’s weighing you down and create space for life….

vs

Never taking a break from the healing because life won’t be good enough (or you won’t be good enough) until you get to a higher vibe

You don’t need another certification, babe. You need to learn to anchor in and BE HERE

Because isn’t that the whole point? Isn’t that why we’re doing all of this?

Oh how quickly I have seen (and experienced firsthand) the allure of the healing rabbit hole….

Social media makes it look so shiny and perfect, doesn’t it? Like there’s an expectation that you could actually reach a point free from hardship

Well, here’s the reality:

That coach you follow? They still cry alone in the bathroom on occasion

That healer you have gained so much wisdom from? They still doubt their messages sometimes

The inspirational people in your life? They have the ugly moments of trauma and conditioning exploding into their lives too, just like you

Myself EXTREMELY included in all of that

The last year has felt like the lifting of a veil for me. I’ve doubted and questioned a lot, and a lot of my perspective on this work and my business has changed too

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: we don’t heal to reach some perfect version of ourselves and our lives

We heal because that is the thing that builds our self-trust

Because once you TRUST yourself to get through life’s s**t, you are untouchable

But that’s the point. Heal so that you can be here.

Not to heal so that you can use your ascension portal as glamorized escapism

✨ Big difference ✨

And I’m here to serve the people who are ready to BE ALIVE

So if that’s you, this is your sign baby. Hit me up. Let’s get you free, open, and alive 💃🏻🔥

This right here is the portal that I’m in 🌀

This past year has forced me to confront every aspect of my life

And as I inch closer and closer to alignment, what is no longer for me is falling away

And this process used to be one that I held a lot of anxiety about

What would people think of the decisions I’m making?

How does it look from the outside?

What if I’m making the wrong choice?

This era is dead for me, and I invite you to kill it too 🔪

Let’s step into the golden age of owning your choices and decisions

Let’s stop living our lives for others and living them for ourselves

I invite you to do the thing you’ve been putting off for fear of how it looks

We are meant to be fully expressed in this lifetime, not watering ourselves down for the sake of others

We are here to play BIG

We are here for passion, and love, and adventure, and wonder

Are you getting enough of those things?

If not, maybe it’s time to consider how and why you’re holding yourself back

This is the new paradigm. The one where we boldly move forward and stop looking back ✌🏻
