I feel such an overwhelming urge to write in this, but I dont know what about. I feel very restless and anxious.. kind of on edge. But in a good way. Its hard to explain, I just feel like something in my life is about to change or happen.
I'm officially on an indefinite break from theatre right now.. A couple months ago, my car started having major problems. It started out with occassionally stalling. But then it became more and more frequent. I had it in the shop 4 times and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. But I finally realized the car had had it when I left to go to Uberschall at the end of last month, and couldn't even get my car out of the apartment complex. :( I was pretty upset- that was the first Uberschall show I have missed since I started seeing them in February 2003. Well, luckily my dad was able to loan me money to get a "new" used car, but now I owe him over $3000.. :/ So because of that, Circus Freaks was kind of it for me as far as theatre goes.. at least for the time being. I need to concentrate on getting every hour of overtime I possibly can for as long as its available. And when its not available any longer.. then its time to get a 2nd job.
But thats where this restless feeling comes in. I just have this gut feeling that sooner or later.. and believe me, it may well be later.. maybe a year from now. Maybe two. But sooner or later, I strongly feel like I am going to end up working in one of the shows here on the strip. Its just kind of odd how things are falling into place.
*I became a huge Phantom of the Opera fan over 10 years ago..
*Never had any exposure to theatre until I got into BMG.. and then through Marcus and his part in Hedwig, came across Nevada Theatre Company, which awoken a passion in me for theatre that I never knew existed..
*Started volunteering for them on a regular basis, slowly but surely learning things about theatre and building a resume.
*One of the chairpersons for NTC is also in management at the Venetian
*Lo and behold- Phantom of the Opera is opening at the Venetian in 2006..
And possibly Blue Man Group? But who knows about that. Phantom is for sure though. And I feel like I'm standing on the brink of a new chapter in my life. I feel like I should be preparing.. Its hard right now because of having to work all this overtime, I dont have much time for theatre. And NTC isn't doing anything for awhile now anyway, but I've had my eyes on Las Vegas Little Theatre for several months now. Who knows... we'll see...
In other news, I am SO excited for the fan meet coming up in a couple weeks! I cant wait to see everyone again. :) I cant believe we are having 6 people in our room- haha! Its going to be a blast. And I'm FINALLY going to meet LaL. :) There is so much I want to do and people I want to hang out with. We're going to have to figure out pretty soon what all we want to do when. :)
