I'm graduated!
That's the big news. How does it feel? you inevitably ask. I dunno. I think I'll know more when it hits the fall and a) I won't be coming back to school and b) I won't be here everyday doing summerstock.
Theatre Prom: despite the less-than-perfect weather, it was pretty much amazing. Had a blast. And I've got about $40 left over to give to my parents for having it at their place! (Talk about budgeting...) They were so wonderful to let us have it at their place.
Summerstock: Fun so far. We're finished blocking with "The Tempest". I'm nearing the off-book phase in that show. So right now its all about trying to remember lines AND my movement work all at once. That phase always pisses me off because I want to start playing playing playing with the role, but I'm too busy making sure the words are right. So there's lots of work to be done still. Rehearsals for "Alice" haven't started up yet. But I've been looking over the script, and I have a truly CRAZY role as the Duchess. She sings a whole song about beating children. Let me repeat that: She sings a whole song about beating children. I'm not kidding. WTF. That'll be delightfully odd to pull that song off without disturbing people... OH WAIT. We're doing Alice in Wonderland... it's supposed to be slightly disturbing... Gregory was super sick with pnemonia, so I was getting worried that we were a bit behind in rehearsals for "The King and I". But, he came back yesterday (don't tell his doc) with color in his face and ran an excellent rehearsal. So, I'm not worried anymore. I love the way that man works. He knows what he wants and loves it when you start playing. I would just like to start working with the movement and dance sections NOW, because I know they will be challenging for me and I want to have enough time to make them look good.
5th Ave General Audition: I think it actually went pretty well. I sang great. Had some technical issues, though. My hair got in my face. I actually didn't have enough time/forgot to put on makeup. I'm sure those two things didn't help. And, I had issues finding my other at first. But, I really doubt anything will come of it. They were seeing hundreds of people for several days. I was the fourth one to go on my day. They didn't say anything to me. But they talked a lot after I left. I hate reading so much into those stupid little things...
TPS General Audition: Tuesday. I still need to trim up a couple of monologues for that one. I wish I had chosen to sing in that audition. That would have been smart. Ce la vie.
So. Next on the to-do lists... Cleaning up my room and making it livable. Figuring out how I'm going to make money when I'm done with Summerstock. Break it to my parents that I'm going to move in with Brian and somehow convincing them this is a much better idea than following their advice and moving back in with them (which I simply could not do). Selling my car? Getting a new car? Planning a trip to Europe (for next spring?).
Anyway. I'm off to rehearsal.
