Ideas, dreams, and the like.
First, I'm so glad I did Frost/Nixon. This show's been a great learning experience, and has really helped me start to really do the acting thing. It's shown me what working with veteran actors is like. It's shown me what potential there is out there. It's shown me sometimes the best audience is two people. And I really really like the show.
Second, my half-cocked idea of going to New York is getting shelved. While I think there would honestly be a chance, too much is stacked against right now. It's when we're blocking my stuff in Sweeney, I can't get off much more work, it'd blow all my cash and credit, and I wouldn't get to do the whole New York thing. So I'm going to shelve the idea for now and when there are a few auditions coming up, I'm going to go for a week or so and do the whole NY thing. I'm going to hopefully do this with James, as he has experience and can show me the ropes. Epic man-vacation in the Big Apple.
Third, Paul and I are thinking about doing another '...Abridged' show. Maybe Shakespeare. We'd need to replace Adam (sadness), but the big thing is we're thinking about producing it ourselves. Doing it when the theatre is dark. I think a great way to sell it would be to do half profits to HHT, half to a local school or literary thing. We still have to hash out some things, but it could be fun. Yet another example of me getting in over my head, but it'll be worth it.
Still nothing from the TTG jobs. I'm getting frustrated that I'm not moving up, but I need to figure out what it is I want before I get too upset. Part of me wants to try the theatre thing. Not just the music thing, but actually do theatre. I just don't know if I'd be out of my league or not. Only way is to try, right?
But what about the whole grad school thing? Vocal performance and all that? I'd still love to do it, but I feel I need to get better at that as well. Grr... not enough focus.
Speaking of not enough focus, can't keep my eyes open to finish this. Bedtime. Maybe I'll figure something out soon.
