Whew, it's been a while
So I never did update with the detailed Europe trip stuff. Whatevs. Deal. Most of you heard stuff in person anyway.
So, I've gone from not having done a show in almost a year (not including Dr. Cook's Garden since that was so last minute and only had one performance), to being in FOUR right now. I'm currently in mainstage High School Musical at BayWay and was just asked to be the coach in the teen version. Then I just opened and possibly closed (for me anyway, since I'm doubled, but I really hope to get at least one more show) Schoolhouse Rock) at Creative Ministries and was just cast in Magic Toy Shop there as well. And while these past couple days drove me insane with double rehearsals and opening SHR a week before I thought I was going to (thus having to learn all my shit in 3 days, with no full cast run-through beforehand), but I loved it all. I bitched and moaned and am in so much pain and am so exhausted right now, but I loved it. I love doing shows. But being in the lobby after SHR today was like nothing else. These kids were like in awe of us; they just stared at us with these big eyes and huge smiles, like we were celebrities. We signed autographs and talked to them about the show and other such things, and it was just amazing. I honestly had the time of my life on that stage today because I let go of any inhibitions I had go and played with the audience and with my incredible co-stars. Shows like today are the reason I love performing so much.
Unfortunatley, performing isn't the most realistic possibility for me to have a career with. And this job hunt is going NO WHERE. That's a bit of a lie because there's one possibility, but it's not available until January. I'm starting to look for part time work; I just filled out a Border's application. Which I mean, part time is good for right now with all the shows and such, but I need to start heading somewhere in life. I need a direction. I know what I want to do, I just wish it was a plausible ambition.
Okay, it's late, and even though there is soooooo much more I want to say, I need to get some sleep. I reall should update this more often so I can actually update on day-to-day things that I wanna write about, but never do because my rambling thoughts about the bigger stuff takes over. And if anything else, more updates would give Marisa something to read lol.
Good night one and all. Take care of yourselves, and each other :-P
Oh, PS, if you're interested in coming to see any of the four shows I'm in, contact me and I'll give you dates and times and such. I would love it if you guys came to any or all of them :)
