Mame

I saw "Mame" today! Nothing like a last-minute matinee to put a cherry on top of your Thanksgiving break. My fellow Theatre VCU friend Brian Baez was in it, adorable as always, as well as a number of other people who I know and love and miss working with. I thought it was a great show, lots of fun, and generally a feel-good play. If you can, go see it!

Auditions for "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?" and "Smokey Joe's Cafe" are getting ever closer! Nerves are high on my end. Hopefully they'll go well!

Auditions

Theatre VCU will be putting on "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?" and "Smokey Joe's Cafe" next semester. Auditions for both are very soon.

And I am very nervous.

Medea

I saw "Medea" last night...if you have the chance, GO. It was absolutely stunning. I can't say enough about! I was so taken by Mary Vreeland...she is so wonderfully expressive. It was so easy to forget that she was not actually speaking! And I have a total "talent crush" on Landon Nagel. I've seen three other Jasons and he was, easily, the most impressive of all. I love the way the chorus was done and the drums added SUCH a great touch...gah! I can't say any more or I'll give it all away!

Seriously, though, try to go see it, because it's a beautifully done production. Hats off to the cast and crew!

Never Mind

Never mind, no "This is Our Youth" for me. I'm sick and it's highly unlikely I'll be better in time to audition.

HOWEVER...mainstage auditions are sneaking up fast!! "Smokey Joe's Cafe" and "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?" are the spring productions. I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to sing. My voice is suited for standard showtunes, not R&B and rock! But I'll make the best of it.

Jenny and I are planning to write a play together. Not sure what about yet, but I'm sure it will be awesome!

This is Our Youth

I'm hoping to audition for "This is Our Youth" at the Firehouse Theatre. I really love that play and I've wanted to try out for something at the Firehouse for a while. I have to figure out getting permission from VCU, though!
