I start working backstage at Beauty and the Beast tomorrow. I have not done a tech week in a looong time. Here's hoping I can stay conscious this week.
My high school is doing Aida (I know...ambitious), and I'm playing Aida. At first I was scared but the cast is great. I'm very excited for it! Once I hear back from all my colleges I'll be able to stress less and focus on the show!
Im doing The Grapes of Wrath right now, in which I'm the narrator and Aggie Wainright. Just finished playing Audery in Little Shop of Horrors...Im stage managing Aladdin soon...and I have an audition for the international thespian cast of Hairspray in June!

I'm doing a bit part in Dearly Beloved, which is by the same people that wrote Dearly Departed. And over the summer, I'm PROBABLY doing Sweeney Todd (as Johanna!) and MAYBE Rent (as Maureen!). I'll be directing a scene and co-designing and building the set for A Midsummer Night's Dream and doing Comedy of Errors as a Shakespeare in the Park! Ah life is wonderful.
I can't talk now. I gotta go get my wallet out of the toaster.
