ABOUT ME
MY STORY
Same Linda Different Identities
This site is about me and three of my identities: Actor, Creator, and Career Coach. My various identities all have at their core my love of storytelling and it’s from there that I work.
Whether it’s performing as an actor or comic, my primary interest is in serving an uplifting story. Since I’m at home here, I’ll be frank. Some stories aren’t worth telling. To me, at least. If you’re not better off for having experienced it, I have no interest in telling it. Can’t help it. I’m picky.
As a creator, I’ve written a solo show (Linda Means to Wait) and a short film (Elevator Lesson).
As a Career Coach, I use my comedic storytelling skills to help career-changing
clients craft their stories to showcase their natural strengths.
MY TRANSITION
I came out of drama school prepared for professional acting but found that my age and demographic relegated me often to roles that would’ve gone against my conscience had I played them, and that spiritual crises led me to leave the business and for “real” jobs.
Along the way, I discovered writing for myself which eventually led to stand up comedy. Writing for myself was empowering. I could say what I wanted to say the way that I wanted to say it.
At this stage of my life, I have a lot to say and want to say it on whatever Comedy stages that will have me. It’s a sort of “Over 50 restart” for me. And, if you relate and want to join me, follow along.
