I am loving where I am at right now. Had a fantastic week at school and with the run of "The Cradle Will Rock" which closes tonight. I have had SUCH a blast working on this show and I don't even think I realize how much I am gonna miss doing this show, BUT I am excited to move on to my next endeavour, Xanadu. Anywho, I just wanted to rant about how happy I am right now, as many times as I have said it, I think I am really find out who I really am. I am starting to make friends and meet more people that I just absolutely click with and people who are going to be very important in my life. I really feel, up at Weber, that I am a part of something great and HUGE and that for just a little bit I get to go to class/rehearsal/show and just think about that, and just think about where I am and what I am doing instead of stressing about where I am going for just a few seconds. It really is just a great, good-sized, fantastic program that I can constantly feel myself grow in and I would reccomend it to anybody. Even though these next few weeks are gonna be HELL with Juries(auditions for scholarships, audition only classes, and program admittance), audtions for the fall shows (Charm(play) and Lucky Stiff(Musical)), finals, Xanadu rehearsal, moving back home, and finding a job. Its gonna be HELL. But I think I seek out Hell, I like to place myself in stressful situations. I should stop that. But hey, I'm a theatre major.
Anywho, I really don't post a lot of my true, deep feelings because...frankly nobody wants to read that, so just for the record, there ARE other things that go on in my life besides the shows that I am in...but its all too... uninteresting to post. SO there ya go. Basically I need to hang out with my old pals, namely Jenna and Britny and Matt and my good pal Lauren. That's about all.
Peace.

There's Gonna Be A Party All Over The World!!
After my many, many auditions I got some shitty news.
Playmill said no. Which was kind of a kick in the pants at first. Then I realized I was happier, and better off. I STILL haven't heard from Tuacahn. However, that is fine because at this point I really don't want it anymore. I started to actually get stressed about being cast there. In January I was gung-ho (???) about it. I was totally fine to take Fall semester off and get me some equity points, mostly because I wasn't LOVING school. After I got cast in 3 fun directing scenes, and am working with a KILLER cast and director for The Cradle Will Rock (Playing March 23-31st, no show on Monday, in the Eccles Theatre at Weber State Univeristy) and playing a pretty fun part, AND going through KCACTF (sorry about all of the bad grammar). I realized that I REALLY like Weber. I REALLY like the people that I go to school with, and I REALLY like the professors that I get to work with every day. I have got the opportunity to play two awesome and completely opposing characters in two iconic plays in my Acting 1 class. I am just really having fun and learning SO MUCH, even though I HATE character analysis....and I have to do two. WAH WAH! Anyway, my point. I decided to audition for a show at The Grand in SLC that Jim Christian is directing. I am crewing for a show at school that conflicted with auditions, so I had to do a little special auditon with some other people that couldn't make it. Well long story short. I started to want this REALLY bad. It was perfect. Working with Jim. A paid gig. AND I got to come back to school in the Fall. I GOT CAST!! Wahoo!! I will be playing Hephaestus in XANADU at The Grand this May!
And I literally COULDN'T be happier. I get to work with a KILLER cast and get reunited with some old friends. Like my old summer show buddy Ashley Carlson. So basically that is just GREAT!! And that way I get to go to San Fransisco with my friends in June and go to Vegas and the Beach House with my family! Then get ready to go back to good ol Ogden in the fall.
I am also making new friends. I have known people for a while, but it is always good when you start to get to know them better. And maybe I have a crush on someone too....maybe I am just super happy. :) Anyway. Just wanted to let you know. COME SEE XANADU!!!!!
Peace.
