Neat story about the church I had never heard of it; it looks beautiful.

Ms. Fonda

My name is Juan Carlos Fisher. I’m a theater director from Lima, Peru.

I’m Associate Director of the theatre in Lima that produced Moises Kaufman’s Gross Indicency. I’ve directed plays by Martin McDonagh, Tony Kushner, Tracy Letts and two musicals.

I found out in the NYTimes Website that you had a blog.

For me, as a Profesional Director from another part of the world, I find your blog absolutely fascinating! I love to read about the process of theatre play, your process there. And coming from a superb actress like you make it really fantastic.

So I wanted to conratulate you for it and encourage to never stop doing it!

I’ll be in NYC the first week of March and I have already the ticket for your show! I’m really hoping to see it!

I hope I could be get in touch with Mr. Kaufman again. I’m a big fan of his work – we get in touch a long time ago, he has a family conection with Peru – so I hope to be able to meet him as well.

Every day in Peru, after the third call, five minutes before a perfomance began, all the crew and cast get together backstage, and we put all our hands together to say a spanish version of “Break a Leg” – but what we say in Spanish is a bad word actually! It will be a sort of “Lots of shit” or “Mucha mierda”. That give us the energy and the feeling that the theatre is a place where you are part of a group, where you really need to conect with “the other” to achieved an excellent perfomance. I wish you and the entire cast “mucha mierda”

With all my love,

Juan Carlos

Ooh this sounds lovely. I miss living in NYC and the theatre. I so wanted to do all classical theatre when I was younger but fighting through stereotypes and surviving a childhood full of upheaval didn’t leave me much bs immunity. I have always admired the way you navigated your life as a woman, a person with privilege and concern about regular folks as well as being an accomplished actress.

I too am continuing my journey and picking myself up with a determination to be positive but take bold steps to get my life back on track. I have too much to offer to let negativity and the struggles of life knock me out. So thanks.

I’d never heard about St. Malachy’s–what wonderful support to have right there in your working ‘hood. Love the pic of Colin juxtaposed against the poster faces. Getting excited for you as previews grow near. Hope you’re managing to squeeze in some relaxation this weekend.

I love reading this blog and greatly admire your honesty and willingness to share your creative journey with everyone. It’s inspiring.
I also loved “My Life So Far”, but this blog makes me wish you would go back and write about your CREATIVE process in your astounding body of work- not the usual biography “and them I did this film with this person”, which you already avoided, but an attack like this blog- it would be fascinating reading.
In your spare time!!
Really looking forward to seeing you in the show!
