  TONI HUGHES DEAVER

As a young woman in my 20s I worked all the time as an actor/director. When I became a mom, I slowed down, and in the ensuing years ran a theater group, did a lot directing and attended film school at Valley College.

Now the kids are grown, I still keep the part time job I took to assist the family but otherwise, I am back to doing the work of an actor which changes and yet is the same every day.

Because I am currently preparing for five weeks working with an specific casting director, I am making myself very aware of his shows, and searching out the similar elements that are present in each character he casts for the individual show/film.

I am also working with writers and actors who are working with me on my shows as a Carol Burnett tribute artist.

Finally, during this month, I am taking part in a wonderful event that Coach Clay Banks puts on each year, called the One Minute Monologue Contest. A must for every serious actor not already on a series.

Once these events pass…. there are plenty behind them.

Evenings are often comprised of screenings, workshops, and more meetings. But we save specific evenings where my husband and I cuddle up and watch our favorite shows we’ve recorded to watch together.
