So Pippin is over. And as stressful as it all was, I miss it already, and I'd do it again tonight in a heartbeat if I could. Fortunately, my mom and dad both LOVED it. I was really worried, since they both tend to be really picky (they're both more of the simple "Grease" lovers). My mom saw it three times, and my dad loved it so much that he came ( Read more... )

Opening night was great. Some of us (aka ME mostly) tripped over some lines, but we did a pretty good job of covering. As much as I love all my friends at APP and, don't get me wrong it's fun to put on a show, I'll be really happy once the run is over. Worrying about my mustache falling off on stage or my fake stomach falling out is STRESSING me ( Read more... )

Mustache update: I found one! And it's perfect. I had to go back to Sophia's again to get it, and the big scary man greeted me with "Oh, hello you." I'm afraid when I go to pick up more gray hairspray I'm going to leave with his phone number ( Read more... )

Pippin goes up on Tuesday (preview) and I STILL haven't found a mustache! All the web sites I'm trying to order it from require a minimum of $19 per order and then tell me that it's going to be an extra $15-$30 for shipping. No thanks ( Read more... )

Sophia's is a terrifying place. For those of you who don't live in Greenwich, it's this little costume shop on Greenwich Ave. and it could be best described as a creepy grandmother's attic. And you're greeted at the door by a giant, intimidating bald gay man who was more than happy to take me upstairs and show me mustaches. Unfortunately, they didn ( Read more... )

Call it random/lucky/coincidental, whatever, but last night when Meg and I were talking after rehearsal we realized we're both going to be in L.A. at the same time next year! And not just that...we're staying at the same place! So of course we freaked out. Appropriately ( Read more... )

I guess my 4 month and 8 day hiatus is finally over. I'm enjoying working on The Big Spoon, but Doug reminded me tonight of how much having my old journal was. I'll do my best to sum up the last 4 months ( Read more... )

Yikes! I can't believe I've been home for a week now. Well, almost a week. I got back last Friday afternoon, so I technically have almost a full day left. It doesn't feel like it's been a week, yet looking back, I realize I've done SO MUCH: Christmas Eve/Day celebrations, APP rehearsals and the show and lots of hanging out with people in between ( Read more... )

Wow, so much to catch up on ( Read more... )

So here it is, Saturday night. I'm heading back to Ithaca tomorrow. Very strange. I thought a week would feel like forever...yet somehow it flew by. I can't say it wasn't without it's fun, though. I sort of dropped the ball on updating daily, so I'll give you a rundown.

Tuesday - Hung out at Megan's with Malcolm and Derene. We had some wine, we ( Read more... )
