Tens are over

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.
