Welcome to my blogspot!!

Well...two years after initiating my first blog site, I'm finally blogging--yay!

I have lots of news to report:


1) I have a new website. Check it out at www.mayleeyang.com to find out more about me, my work, and upcoming events.

2) I got a new haircut. It's super short, bringing me back to my senior year in high school. I'll need to post a more updated photo so you can compare notes.

3) Even as I'm writing, I'm preparing for an awesome but sure to be exhausting weekend. Tomorrow, I'll be heading off to the Hmong National Development Conference (HND) in Appleton, WI. If you happen to be there, check out a sneak preview of my show Sia(b),which will be showing on Friday, April 3.

On Saturday, April 4, Katie Vang and I will also be facilitating a workshop called "Transforming Community Through Theater" from 1:30-3 PM.

On a more personal note, those who know me will know that I have an affinity for funny kid quotes, so these were some things I heard this week:

Shawn (a 4 year-old) said to Ashley (a 15 year-old), "You're evil like May, huh?"

For the record, I'm not really evil. I just played someone who was semi-evil and I guess she left some imprints on me.

Another quote from another 4-year old: "When I get home, I'm going to use my puddle boots to stomp in puddles." I didn't know there were such things as puddle boots, but, hey, you learn something every day.
