I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Suzanne Johnson. I live in Chicago but I'm originally from Jackson Mississippi. I have been a nurse for 35years and decided about a year ago to pursue a new career. I haven't looked back. While I still do medical missions, my focus has been acting. I'm staying busy with classes, auditioning and I have been fortunate enough to land roles in a few independent films. My first feature length will premiere this Fall. Very excited. I love this group for it's diversity, and accepting nature. Everyone is so supportive. I haven't run into a negative person yet. That's rare. I'm looking forward to making new friends and nurturing the relationships I have started in my first year of acting.

Suzanne! Great to have you here! There are some Chicago Stage 32ers in the middle of putting together a meetup next month - it's headed by Joe Orlandino (who just had a film at Cannes) - make sure you network and introduce yourself to him!
Welcome Susan
It's working out well Victor. I have a project in the works that I will be able to talk more about in 2 or 3 months from now. I'm putting myself out there everyday and taking classes. Lots of auditions, a few short films. Pretty happy. I'm about balance in my life. I have a great marriage, beautiful kids and grandkids to spend time with. I keep my nursing skills alive with medical missions. I love acting and will be adding filmmaking to my resume this year.
Thank you Victor. You too.
