Awarded by ACT San Diego, a non-profit organization founded in 1964 to improve the quality of community theatres throughout San Diego County, the Aubrey represents the best performances spanning from northern Escondido to southern Chula Vista. Using a standardized judging sheet, traveling judges grade performances on a 10-point scale. To be nominated, a performance must have scored 8.0 or better. To win, well, that process was undisclosed. However, attendees were informed that most winners this year had been judged 9.0 or better. Despite my hopes that it would be, I was shocked to hear my name called -- and even pronounced correctly -- in the Lead Actress category. The surreal experience of accepting that award is still sinking in. But that's a story for another time. For now: they like me, they really like me.
And though I told you not to hold your breath waiting to see a picture of this award on my blog, I'll thank you now for crossing your fingers.

Good job. Remember me in your Oscar speech. Somewhere between your agent and your caterer... ;-)
Ah... acceptance speech... Did I mention that there was a surreal twist to this story? I'm coming home this weekend, when all will be revealed. I'll become very busy shortly after my return (blog to follow). Got time for a get-together before the 6th? Drop an e-mail.
E-mail dropped.
Way to go Olive. I knew you could do it. Talk to you soon.
