 Good party. :) hahha.




Holy cow. I have less than a month left out here. Things got pretty crazy there for a while and time flew by. Fast. Like crazy fast. So -

For these last two weeks I'm working on this project called New Voices. Every year Actors Theatre runs a ten minute play contest that highschool kids from all around Kentucky submit plays to. The plays selected are then fully produced by the theater in mid April. We've just begun rehearsal. I'm in two pieces, The End, and Pass the Canoles.

Pass the Canoles is 5 italian mafia guys playing poker, kidnapping a man, stealing a cat for thier boss, eating canoles, and playing more poker. Its a riot. Super funnt.

The End is about this girl realizing she only has 10 minutes before the earth explodes and frantically trying to finish the book she is reading but she keeps getting interupted by stray phone calls and visits from past lovers. A hoot. It is a hoot.

Then after that closes we have one last workshop. ZFX. ZFX is a rigging company that is coming in to teach us how to work rigs, and how to fly in them. Yes. We will be suspended by harnesses, flying, while our fellow apprentices hold up the other end of the rope. Last year they did a workshop on incorporating flying into jazz dance. This year they are teaching us how to incorporate FLYING into STAGE COMBAT. So - Its gona be freaking awesome.

Summer plans
- Chicago from may 8th-13th
- Davenport from may 14th - 28th
- Mexico from may 28th to june 1st - building a house from the homeless with dad and brother. Amazing.
- Chicago from june 2 - july 31st
- Amana from august 1-Sept 15(ish) - Doing The Woody Guthrie Story with Iowa Artists Theatre Company
- New York   - New update - I'm moving to New York I think. 96% sure. Im going to see how much money I can save up during the summer then move there in the fall. If I don't have enough cash, I'll work a few more months, and then head up there.



Crazy huh?
I can't believe its almost over. Its wierd, thinking that I'm gona be out, waiting tables, and going to auditions so soon. :) For now however, I'm happy working here. Excited about the future, but focused on today. One day at a time.
