Oh, and the Triumph of Love audition? It is so on. I am going to rock this thing. Even if I don't get in, I am just so jazzed about auditioning. SO JAZZED.

Oh, and, we got...a company car. A COMPANY CAR!!

It's a 2010 Toyota Corola.

I HAVE A CLICKEY-KEY!!

Work Calls

Today we had a work call for Lend Me A Tenor where we hung lights and stood on ladders and the like.

Speaking of that...

UNDERSTUDY RUN IN THREE DAYS!!

And what else is in three days?

I'm so excited I can't stand it.

Huzzah!

My Niece's Birthday

...was yesterday. I had such an insane day that I got home and passed out without a second thought. So a quick shout out and a Happy Birthday to Sarah who is no 18!

Goodness I feel old...

Also I got to run Act I of Bug yesterday. It. Went. Swimmingly.

I love this play.

I love it.

I love it.

I love it.

SO MUCH!

Anyway, I'll post later today to make up for my flub.

Stay sweet, kids.

Cheers,

M.E.J.

Prepping

So I didn't get into Harvey, but I'm ok with that. I'm excited about auditions for Triumph of Love also. I'm trying very hard to come up with the perfect pair of songs to sing, so I have a lot to do this weekend. I also have the Understudy run for Lend Me A Tenor on my birthday (6 days) so I have to buckle down and be ready by Monday to do a run with my fellow understudies.

To reiterate: my weekend shall be INSANE!!

Other than that...well...there you go.

Stay sane, kids.

Cheers,

M.E.J.

Haircut

I got a lovely haircut today from one of my best friends, Abbey Worthing.

I had to look nice for my callback, after all.

Speaking of the callback it went nicely! I'm confident that I did all right and I hope I get cast.

If I don't I'll be ok. I'll just audition somewhere else!

Anyway it's dinner time.

Have a lovely evening, all!

Cheers,

M.E.J.

Callback!

I have to keep this short for homework sake, but yay I got a callback!

Not for Airswimming, but for Harvey instead. After reading the play I absolutely love it!

I'm excited and I'm starving and I need to do homework and I'm excited that my plays are coming in the mail!

Yay and all that!

Cheers,

M.E.J.

Cattle Calls

So today were the cattle call auditions for the spring shows, Airswimming and Harvey.

My monologue went very successfully and I got good feedback from both directors. The callback lists go up tomorrow so I'm excited about that.

As for other shows I'll be busy as a bee for the next two weeks. Lend Me A Tenor goes into tech in a couple of weeks and Bug is in it's blocking stages this week. Not only do I have to juggle two understudy roles, but I have to make sure all my assignments are done on time. Either way, I'll probably go crazy to the max by the end of the week.

Oh, and Lady GaGa came to Portland today to speak on the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" debate. They're threatening to disallow homosexual men and women in the military. Obviously this is ridiculously discriminatory, so GaGa, herself came to give a speech. Unfortunately I was otherwise occupied and couldn't see her give her speech, but I'm glad she stands for such great things.

Oh, and P.S.

Birthday count: 9 days!!

Cheers,

M.E.J.

Unbitter

Well, I didn't get into Steel Magnolias, but I'm not the least bit bitter. I feel so good to not be bitter. Sure I would have preferred to get in, but about 46 people auditioned for 6 roles. As I said, it was a long shot, but I'm still glad I did it.

Tomorrow, however, are the auditions for Harvey and Airswimming. My monologue is memorized and timed and I'm ready to go. I'm nervous, but I'll be ok. I'll be able to breathe I swear. Plus, if all else fails I can just audition for Triumph of Love so I'm not worried.

Anyway, that's all for now.

I feel good.

FINALLY!!

Cheers,

M.E.J.
