Let me tell you a secret; you can train yourself to be happy. Here’s one example: you wake up ready to enjoy the weekend but when you pull back the curtains all you see is a gloomy, rainy day. For many people, the first instinct would be to feel as if the weekend was ruined. What if, instead, you decided to grab a blanket, a cup of hot tea, and a book and curl-up on the sofa listening to the rain?

It’s all about perspective.

If you’re not a person who is “naturally happy,” donut worry! I promise, when you begin implementing some of these happiness hacks, day by day, you will find yourself becoming a happier person. We have to practice the things we want to be good at. Practicing happiness is worth your time and effort. The more you do it, the more you will feel it naturally. Just remember, while you may not be in control of your genetics, or all of the life circumstances, you ARE in control of your attitude and how you respond.

I hope this gets you started thinking about how to practice being a happier person. If you are struggling with unhappiness during this season, please reach out to a professional. At the very least, reach out to someone you love and let them know that you are having a hard time.

Those of us who experience clinical depression may often feel like happiness is not within our control, so it is crucial to work with a professional who can help you live a more balanced life. It is possible.

In love we find out who we want to be.
In war we find out who we are.

FRANCE, 1939

In the quiet village of Carriveau, Vianne Mauriac says goodbye to her husband, Antoine, as he heads for the Front. She doesn’t believe that the Nazis will invade France…but invade they do, in droves of marching soldiers, in caravans of trucks and tanks, in planes that fill the skies and drop bombs upon the innocent. When a German captain requisitions Vianne’s home, she and her daughter must live with the enemy or lose everything. Without food or money or hope, as danger escalates all around them, she is forced to make one impossible choice after another to keep her family alive.

Vianne’s sister, Isabelle, is a rebellious eighteen-year-old girl, searching for purpose with all the reckless passion of youth. While thousands of Parisians march into the unknown terrors of war, she meets Gaetan, a partisan who believes the French can fight the Nazis from within France, and she falls in love as only the young can…completely. But when he betrays her, Isabelle joins the Resistance and never looks back, risking her life time and again to save others.

With courage, grace and powerful insight, bestselling author Kristin Hannah captures the epic panorama of WWII and illuminates an intimate part of history seldom seen: the women’s war. The Nightingale tells the stories of two sisters, separated by years and experience, by ideals, passion and circumstance, each embarking on her own dangerous path toward survival, love, and freedom in German-occupied, war-torn France–a heartbreakingly beautiful novel that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the durability of women. It is a novel for everyone, a novel for a lifetime.

Biography
Kristin Hannah is an award-winning and bestselling author of more than 20 novels including Winter Garden, True Colors, and the blockbuster Firefly Lane.

Her novel Home Front has been optioned for film by 1492 Films (produced the Oscar-nominated The Help) with Chris Columbus attached direct.

Kristin’s next release is the highly anticipated The Nightingale, which is available in book stores now.

VPT offers public performances for New Yorkers as well as private shows for under served populations, and they partner with a broad range of local, national and international organizations. Previous clients include New York University, The New School, Mt. Sinai Hospital, and Sing Sing Correctional Facility. Past seasons have included performances for New Yorkers affected by Hurricane Sandy and 9/11, members of the Afghanistan Human Rights and Democracy Organization, and individuals struggling with mental illness and addiction.

The Annual Spring Gala Fundraiser celebrates the end of VPT’s 10th season with food, cocktails, an auction, and an interactive performance from company members. Friends of the company and curious newcomers will have the chance to mix and mingle with artists and experience live theater in a fun and immersive setting.

We have a lot to celebrate but need help with funding. This season we’ve provided performances for audiences struggling with mental illness, addiction and homelessness–people who don’t often have access to the arts.

Additionally, this year marks the launch of VPT’s Open Rehearsals, a popular series of interactive training workshops for actors and non-actors.
