Beauty and the Beast is over. The set is gone, the actors are gone, the Atelier is empty except for 3 people, though 2 more will be coming back after their days off. Quite a change from the 30+ that were here yesterday. And I must admit it's a little weird, and lonely ( Read more... )

Beauty and the Beast closes next Sunday, so we have only 9 more performances. My body hurts from moving scenery with a rather large person on top of it. And I screwed up my knee again while hiking ( Read more... )

I have lived through 93 of these 158 things ( Read more... )

So I went shopping the other day at the mall for a dress to wear at my friend Caitlin's wedding. I bought a nice black dress. I was shopping with several actresses who all live in New York at the moment. I showed them the dress and they said "what kind of jewelry are you going to wear with it?" "I haven't decided yet. I have a lot of options. I was ( Read more... )

The world does not revolve around you. It's time you learned that. And sadly in this case I'm using "you" as a plural word. Watching the Tony's with a bunch of drunk musical theatre divas sounds like fun in theory until you actually try to care about what's going on in the awards show. Then you just want to throw things at the people who won't shut ( Read more... )

We're teching for Beauty and the Beast. It's been a kinda crazy last 2 days and we haven't even hit hardcore tech yet. I do get to make the final rose petal fall however :) and play with lots of other cool stuff like Maurice's invention and cute little kids in teacarts playing Chip. Crud, I think I just left my glass at another table when I moved ( Read more... )

My boss just said to me "You never take breaks. I'm going to the coffee shop and when I come back you better be playing around on the computer" so here I am. Things are going alright here. Tech for Beauty and the Beast starts tomorrow night I think so life should get far more interesting after today. I'm feeling more at home here now. It's not BTF ( Read more... )

Sitting in the coffee shop again. I've worked for a week now and today is my day off. I've been building props like crazy and it gets kinda lonely cause my boss leaves me alone with a list of things to do (it's good that she trusts me). But she leaves me alone in the basement for hours and so I don't get much social interaction., I see plenty of ( Read more... )

I am in a coffee shop with free wireless (and a discount for MMT employees! yes!) in the extremely artsy city of Roanoke, VA. I haven't been here that long, but I've already visited the hippie shops, the open air market, and of course the theatre where I'm employed. I saw the DaVinci Code and had coffee with equity actors--it's a bit surreal. I've ( Read more... )

So I am heading off for Mill Mountain in VA...like now.

Keep in touch!
