Hard to believe 2012 is almost over....
*insert over-used “and the world didn't end/we're still here”
joke*
I never did a November update. We closed Guys & Dolls about a month ago. I loved being involved in the show. I still miss it. Fantastic/talented cast and crew.
A Little Overview:
"Sky, Sarah, Nathan and Adelaide"
It's been an interesting year to say the least...
A Little Overview:
I moved to the Greater Philadelphia
area early January 2012...since then:
Number of Houses lived in: 5
Full-Scale Shows: 4
Special “Appearances” (aka, one
night/day only, etc) Shows: 3
Shows turned down: 4
Auditions: Lost count
Call backs: roughly 1/3-1/2 of the
auditions I lost count of. (Goal for 2013, aim for 1/2 -3/4)
Trips to New York: Lost count
Hours spent in the car: Infinity
Number of meals cooked not in a
microwave: 1 (truth) (and that one was a pot of thin spaghetti)
Number of Broadway shows seen: 7 (seems
a little low, but I think that's all)
Brief highlights from this year's four
shows:
The Secret Garden: I got to move garden
walls, twirl a lot, and sing really high.
Lucky Stiff: I got to take copious
amounts of photos onstage with my iPhone, insult my current roommate,
and get really excited about traveling. (oh, and play a French chick
one weekend)
Mystery of Edwin Drood: I got to wear a
really heavy skirt, speak in a British accent, and sing really high
and occasionally go crazy.
Guys & Dolls: I got to slap my
costar and act drunk. That's enough.
I finally have YouTube videos up.
Couple performances from Drood, and a handful from Guys & Dolls.
So, check them out if you have the time. Share them with your
friends...co-workers...enemies...Neil Patrick Harris.
"I'll Know/I'll Know Reprise" from Guys & Dolls.
Up next in 2013:
In February I'll be traveling to
Memphis to attend UPTAs.
This is the first time since late
January that I haven't had another full-length show lined up. I'm
working on auditioning...got a few on the calendar so far...I'll be
looking for more, and hopefully I'll have another show shortly.
Lord willing, I'm going to aim to earn EMC
points this year. It's time. :)
In the non-acting world I'm still working at the property management firm...I'm really enjoying the work and the people I work with.
It's been a great year. I feel very blessed. I've made some great new friends, and had some wonderful experiences.
And with that, I'll sign off. Stay tuned for more unexpected adventures in 2013! Thanks for reading!!
