THE INSIDE STORY

One of my biggest interests in high school (besides boys) was theater. Although the acting bug is probably and always has been racing through my veins, I never had the chance to really experience acting until my junior year in high school when I had my first taste of being a part of theater. I was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to play the role of Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion. Now, for those of you not "up" on theater, Pygmalion is the original My Fair Lady without music. But I know all the words to all the songs, because we added them to our "non-musical" and lip synced them for our special version.

The transformation of Eliza has always fascinated me, so when I wondered what it would be like if the tables were turned and SHE was the one who did a makeover on HIM, the idea for A Whole New Man was born. It wasn't difficult to come up with my Eliza (Elizabeth/Lizzie) or Henry (Hank). But as always happens, this is not Eliza and Henry's story, it's Lizzie and Hank's. And what a happy ending—once again?—for both of them!
