SO I just recently saw the TMZ story about Kristen Stewart doing an interesting activity – sitting in from of her home (in public) smoking a very curious looking pipe (what was in it, I’m not totally sure). Now it’s pretty common knowledge that I’m not a very big K. Stew fan, but I have no issue with her smoking. Everyone needs to wind down, and if that’s your method, then fine. What I do have an issue with is her doing it on her front porch in front of everyone, including a bajillion little girls who practically worship the ground she walks on. I’m not sure if she’s aware of the massive stardom she’s reached by doing Twilight. She’s not a normal person anymore. She’s a super-celebrity, and any girl who saw Twilight wants to be her. And like they say, monkey-see monkey-do. Kids are going to think that since Bella smokes, it’ll be okay. And I know that people are gonna respond to this post, saying it’s bullshit and that kids aren’t that stupid, except the thing is, they are. A few years ago, I would have been one of the psycho Kristen fans. It hasn’t been that long since I was an impressionable little kid, so I know what I’m talking about. Please, Kristen, think of your fans. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

WOOHOO! I just got back from my first play practice for the show I was just cast in, Be Still and Know, which is the world-premiere adaptation of Alex Sanchez’s novel, The God Box. For those of you unfamiliar with the novel, (which, as fate would have it, is the majority of the universe), it is the story of evangelical christian teens living in Abilene, Texas, dealing with their faith and homosexuality. I play Angie (the female lead, thank you, thank you!), who is the lead characters girlfriend, and I think that the timing of this show is impeccable. With the passing of Prop 8, I think that California needs a nice dose of humanity. The show does a beautiful job of defending homosexuality with the bible, the very thing most commonly used to condemn it, including Leviticus 18:22 (“Thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination”), to which Carlos (Manuel) Cordero, and openly gay, Christian teen in the play, responds, “The Bible also say that eating shellfish is an abomination… Does anyone who eats shrimp commit a lesser crime than homosexuality?”. The show is smart, and powerful, and will cause many people to reconsider their beliefs about homosexuality.
In my nice little Sacred Heart high school, though in one of the most liberal places in the world, San Francisco, this show is causing a remarkable amount of controversy (which those of us in the show are LOVING… everyone speaking out against it is just igniting interest in it). Parents are protesting it, teachers are confused by it, and student are just avoiding the topic all together. This controversy has the sparked the interest of a filmmaker, who has decided to film a documentary about it.
Anyone in the California Bay Area who is interested in seeing it can just email me – shannonc@shschools.org, subject “Be Still and Know” and I will get back to you about ticket information.
