This is my first birthday since winning the Edinburgh Fringe First award that I have been out of the USA. I've travelled nonstop for 4 years now, but somehow I always made it back for my birthday. Not Christmas or Thanksgiving or Flag Day. But my birthday, yes.
I think it has more to do with the coincidental timing of my birthday with the peak of 'fringe season' in Philadelphia: the busiest and most hectic time of preparation for one of the nation's largest new-work nonprofit theater festivals. I always made a point to be back for Fringe.
But not this year. Instead, I'm in the middle of a six-month mission for MSF. Not a bad place to turn 26.
