Miki-ki-ki-ko SUUUUUUUUzuuukiii!

The Light in the Piazza

I really like her name...thus the title. Wow. It was awesome to hear of someone who had graduated from Cornish who was not Brendan Fraser. Mikiko was so determined, and it was interesting to see the road that she took to get where she is now. I loved the picture of her going to go see The Barber of Seville when she was 14 and completely being dazzled by the theatre. It was kind of like my experience when I was 7, and saw my first play at the Pasadena Playhouse. My first play was Peter Pan. I was totally dazzled. I love how theatre speaks to everyone, even if it's in another language. I also loved how Mikiko didn't give up when she kept hitting road blocks. She was persistent in her endeavor to learn more about her craft, and became more rich through her experience. It was also nice to see how Cornish supported Mikiko in her journey. It makes me realize how fortunate I am to be at Cornish, and how I have a great support system of artists to work with.
