so, opening night of Les Mis here in PA (at the local high school.) It went pretty well for a high school that doesn't have a theatre class and also having the lights getting messed up and having to be redone the morning before opening night.
how's life with you guys?

Mamie - are you okay by now?
my sis was ill, she was caughing the whole week...it was annoying really 
poor dear, and I was using everything I could not to be ill because I work a lot - vitamins, mineral water, relaxation, sports. thank god, it seems working - knock, knock.
But I am happy to report you that spring is really here! I have changed my wintercoat!

So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.~Office Space

Hi Annie.
I am feeling better - but not 100% yet. I went to the doc this morning and I have to have a CT scan done. There's something still going on in my lungs and the scan will tell them more.
We're FINALLY having gorgeous weather outside! It's a little windy but it's warm and sunny and beautiful. It sure took its good ol' time about getting here!

Posted: 3/3/07 at 2:44amI think I'm going to have to ammend the sports remark with the declaration that Wii sports is the truly notable exception.

Good morning everyone.
Greg's commercial for H&R Block is supposed to start airing today. If anybody notices it, would you mind posting here where you saw it? I'm sure H&R Block commercials are showing a lot right now (due to it being tax time) but I don't see much TV so I don't know where to go looking for them.
Have a great day all!

Hey, Greg Jbara fans!
As some of you may know, Greg was in BRIGADOON: 1991 London Studio Cast as Jeff. I'm currently doing BRIGADOON [no, I'm not Jeff [sadly] BUT I play Andrew MacLaren, Jean and Fiona's father.] And I was wondering if any of you guys possibly have the cast recording?
If you could help me out, PM me.

Greetings.
I certainly didn't mean to make it so long since I last posted here, I've just been uberbusy, but now I'm finally on spring break!
I had my last performance of Annie Get Your Gun yesterday (I was playing and getting paid for the same comm. theatre that did Guys & Dolls the year before). We had an extremely talented Annie, a Frank Butler with an opera voice, and it was a lot of fun. I'm gonna go into post-show depression soon 
But it was great, 4 of my friends here from school schlepped out with me to see it last Saturday, and got me a burger king crown, and one of my friends came Saturday night, so that was awesome. Meant a lot to me.
What else is up. I have a very important interview for a summer internship tomorrow, kind of nervous. I'm taking an opera class, which I really like. I've always wanted to get into opera and see one, but never got around to it. I saw my very first one at the Met Friday night--La Traviata. A very different experience, but I loved it--moreso than I was even expecting.
Tonight at my school thered is NYT discussion with Broadway choreographers, including Jerry Mitchell, who I think I am going to have sign my DRS poster. Hehe.
In other DRS news, I went to the Broadway for Medicine concert last week that Joanna performed in, and she had 3 background singers: One who I coulda sworn they said Michael Berresse, but he kind of doesn't belong...along with Tim Alex and Dennis Stowe! That was an exciting treat.
Joe Cassidy had a concert the same night as the My First Time benefit, which I already had tix to so I missed it. Pooh.
I wish I could see Greg's commercial, but I barely watch TV anymore.
Ooh, and everyone should watch Johnny and the Sprites.
The financial district is a weird place to live in.
Okay, the end.
For now.

Posted: 3/20/07 at 2:43pmSo, i was watching the Going Blonde: Road to Broadway video (the most recent one with Jerry Mitchell. March 12th I think) for Legally Blonde on Broadway.com and the guy who is playing professor Callihan was talking and behind him walked a familiar face. It was Jason Gillman! I completely forgot he was in this show! Look out for him if you watch the video!
