Roller coasters.

Super Mario.

Some songs that I've written, I started on the piano.

That happened with All I Want for Christmas is You.

It's almost like a dance that we have, you know, with the other audience members.

Hi, my name is Candin Jeanette.

And I have performed this wonderful show with Virginia Stage Company in a gazillion different places.

I performed the show on the USS George H.W.

Bush.

An actual vessel, a Navy vessel, which is like mind-blowing to think about.

People are coming up the gangway.

My goal always is to capture them, to connect, you know, eye-to-eye contact.

This has been more than once where we've come in and performed the show because there's either been a spike in the number of suicides or someone has just, you know, lost their life to suicide.

And it's more of a fragile environment and it's more of a need to really get that message out there

We have partnered with local organizations that will come out to our show.

So we'll have our show and we will also give out resources and connect to people who can continue that conversation after we're done.

What will the audience think?

There was a lot of worry about, will the audience, especially when they play Mrs. Patterson, taking their shoe off and putting a sock on their hand, be able to take on the role without feeling uncomfortable?

Our Korean audience is on the shyer side.

And as an actor myself, I'm on the more introverted side too.
