Phillipa's

It's the second week of school and I am here wide awake at 6am to make my daughter's breakfast.

After 30 minutes I finally finished cooking so it's time to wake my daughter up now. I went up her room...

Phillipa : Mira! Wake up honey, it's a school day!

Mira : Mooooom!

Phillipa : Miranda!

Mira : Okay, I'm up! No need to say my whole name!

Phillipa : That's not your whole name honey.

Mira : Moooom!

Phillipa : Just get up and take a shower!

After 20 minutes, Mira walked into the kitchen

Mira : Mother, I have news for you!

Phillipa : What?

Mira : I'm going to audition for a school play!

Phillipa : Really? What play?

Mira : In The Heights!

What?!

Phillipa : What?

Mira : In The Heights! I'm sure you've heard about that, it's ver popular im broadway since 2008

Phillipa : Of course I do!

Mira : Do you not want me to follow your footsteps?

Phillipa : I want you to do whatever you want! If auditioning will make you happy then I'll support you!

Mira : Really?!

Phillipa : Yes! Now, what role are you going for?

Mira : I hope I get Vanessa, but it'll be awesome if I'd be Nina, Daniela or Carla

Phillipa : Well, you're going to be awesome in any role

Mira : Of course! My mother is the great 'Amèlie' ! Acting is in my blood!

Phillipa : That's right! Now when's your audition?

Mira : Tomorrow!

Phillipa : And you're only telling me this now?

Mira : Oh, look at the time, I'll be late for school! Bye!!!

Then she went outside with her school bag. I swear that kid is fifteen and is learning to lie to me. But I love her still.

She's Miranda Soo, I gave her my last name because I don't think it's legal for me to use her father's. I don't know where her father is now, all I know is he knocked me up on a college party on 2002.

I never regretted that night. It changed my life, that night gave me the biggest blessing that is my daughter. My parents didn't like the thought of me being a single mother so I kept the lights open by being a broadway actress. I only started having gigs when my daughter was seven. Before that I was a great waitress in a small restaurant.

It's a good thing that Mira never asked that much about her father. Because honestly, I don't know what I would say.



I am now on my way to the Walter Kerr Theatre. We have a show later. This time, I am playing Amèlie. Before, I was in The Great Comet of 1812, A Little Night Music and my very first, School for Wives

Everyone knows that I have a daughter, It's just that Adam is the only one who knows Mira's father

Adam : Hey Pippa!

Phillipa : Hi Good Morning!

Adam : Where's Mira?

Phillipa : It's a school day Adam

Adam : Right!


: Off to hair and makeup people!


Adam : I guess I'll see you later Amelie!

Phillipa : See you later Nino!





A show later...


Phillipa : Goodbye guys!

M.C : Already?

Phillipa : Mira's auditioning for a school play and she texted me to come home early to help her practice

Harriett : Oooh a school play! What play are they doing?

Phillipa : In The Heights!

Nino : In The Heights?!

Harriett : What's wrong with ITH?

Nino : Nothing! It's amazing! I just got excited! Right Pippa?!

Phillipa : It's his favorite. Anyway, I need to go goodbye guys!


When I got home I saw Mira watching t.v.


Phillipa : Uhmmm- this is practicing for you?

Mira : This is early to you?

Phillipa : You're sassy-ing me now?

Mira : I'm sorry, I'm just nervous that's all

Phillipa : Well then get off the couch and start singing for Mommy!

Mira : Please don't judge my singing and acting- I'm a newbie

Phillipa : Honey, I am your mother. My job is to always say you're great!

Mira : Okay but be honest now!

Phillipa : When have I lied to you?

Mira : Uhm- my father?

Phillipa : Miranda!

Mira : I'm kidding! Love you!

Phillipa : Stop stalling and sing Vanessa!
