Hey everyone,
So we closed our ten minute play festival today and went out with a bang. We had a donor night last night where we raised 484.00 for our showcase fund. Which is AWESOME. And tonight we had to turn 30 people away from an already packed house. It was awesome.
I kinda flubbed up a part tonight but it was funny. In my scene I start out with a faux beer in my hand and halfway through the scene I totally dropped it and it spilled everywhere. I just stared at it. haha. finally my scenepartner was like, "pick it up dude!" so I did, and we moved on. But I just froze.
You think of all the good things to do after the moment has passed. At least I do. Like my guy is a total frat boy, man's man. After I dropped it, I should have said, "Oh party foul! Vacuum!" started sucking it up like a hoover. Would have been totally funny, but nope. Just stared at it. ah well.
I really got hit hard by the end of the scene tonight, cause it was closing night. In the scene, I've just decided to let the villan get away so I can go to my best friends wedding and theres this really sweet moment where I grab two beers and say, "to you. I wouldn't miss this for anything" and as I was saying it, I was thinking about doing the scene with him. Like, "I wouldn't miss an opportunity to be on stage with you for anything." And I started to get a little emotional, which doesn't happen alot. After that, he starts to walk off and I come up behind him and say, "Now lets get your sorry ass married." and while that sounds rash, its just thier relationship and he means it with all the love in his heart. and it was just really sweet. Like, "on with the next one man. Lets do this. I've got your back."
It was really great.
So on that note - on to the next one.
Tomorrow - auditions for a scene in our Humana play, "The End" and for one of the actual Humana Shows, "The Devil at Noon". Its for a role where we will understudy an actor, and go on for one show when the actor is out of town. So, its a pretty huge opportunity. I'm pretty stoaked. After that, a quick trip to moline, and then three days of auditioning with the whole company at two or three theaters in Chicago.
Time for a nap. After some work.
See ya.
OH I GOT NEW HEADSHOTS TODAY! THEYRE AWESOME AND i'LL POST A TON SOON.

Back in KY
Hey everyone, So its been a long while since Ive written so I'll catch you up really quick.
Christmas Carol was a hit! I played Young Scrooge.
I put working on my album on hold for about 3 weeks but will be getting back to it mid this week.
Christmas was awesome. It was really nice to just come home and chill. For the first 2 days I did nothing. I left the house for beer and a few cigarettes. That was it. I just sat and watched movies all day. Mmmm good. so then I spent the next 3 days trapsing around Iowa seeing people, went up to Iowa city for a night to see nathan and josh, which was a long awaited, and much need reuniting of the tripod.
Oh - so - the trip out there. I left here at noon on the 24th. There was a storm headed right at us. one of the other apprentices, Havalah Grace Backus,has family in Moline, so she rode out with me. We're cruising along fine till just after Indianapolis. Snow. Then more snow. Then more snow. So, the trip is supposed to take 7 hours, but I was averaging 35,40, and it took 13. I got home a little after 1. BUT, got us there safe. I was glad she was there with me, because if I'd have driven that alone, it would have been white knuckled all the way.
So back in Kentucky, we're mounting our ten minute play festival. We open tuesday. There are 6 or 7 plays that we do one after the other for 4 nights.
My play is called Holy Matrimony! (and other things to do in lieu of saving the world)
Its a two person show about a superhero and his sidekick (who is getting married that day) 10 minutes before the wedding, they get a text message from the Mayor saying that The Blue Butcher has taken over s subway train and is going to light it on fire. So - They have to decide if the sidekick is going to get married, or if they are going to save the train. Its super funny, and bromantic. And I get to do a dive roll in it, so, I'm happy. :)
The next two weeks are going to be awesome. We basically have them off because it worked out that we don't have any crew responsibilities for any of the shows playing right now. So, we're planning a trip to Chicago, Cincinnati, and somewhere in Indiana. :) We're going to do a handful of general auditions in each town - Leaving for Chicago on the 20th, so I've got to get cracking on my monologues.
That's it for now,
Oh wait, I'm cooking my first turkey this week. Wish me luck.
Off to a nap to see if i can shake this cold.
