""In the theater of life, in which we are all players, we must practice the art of being human and present every single day," Baranski said. "Put down your phone, look away from your screens and just take delight in the present moment.""
""But tonight," Holmes said, "we're going to learn a little bit more about Christine Baranski, the person.""
""I started my career on the streets of Buffalo, doing projects like what the DRAA is doing for kids. I applaud the organization for that," Baranski said. "That's where a kid's heart can ignite and set fire to a long career.""
An Emmy Award-winning actress urged practicing presence, advising people to put down phones, look away from screens and delight in the present moment. Life was framed as a theater in which everyone must practice the art of being human and present daily. The event closed a 20th annual speaker series and reflected on a decades-long career in theater and television. A nonprofit partnership with the arts center was commended for funding performances, education, and outreach. A childhood start on Buffalo streets and participation in similar programs were credited with igniting a long career, and an early Juilliard rejection due to a slight speech impediment was recalled.
