Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'!

Wow... so it's totally been over a month since I've updated. Sorry.

Life's been going this summer. I've done a whole lot of yard work and a little working out, and a LOT of thinking. But things seem to be getting clearer and the future not quite as daunting as it used to be. For some reason, everything seems to be looking bright, and I'm liking it!

But in terms of theatre, I've been attempting to find audition material for next year for everything from school auditions to KTA and Midwest Theatre Conferences. Finding material that I REALLY love and feel that I can connect to is much harder than I planned though.

The KTA, Midwest, SETC, Theatre Department audition prep...thingy...that Ashlan and I were talking about is actually going to be getting off the ground. It's called Audition Madness (what we used as the facebook event title for pre-audition get-togethers last year), and we're meeting Saturdays to go over singing and acting and devoting a great deal of time to that monster that EVERYONE loves, dancing. We're hoping to prepare people for the demands of auditioning for summer theatres that (from the seasons we saw at auditions last year) primarily like to do musical theatre. What's more? It's free! lol... It'll be super fun, but I'm super nervous about having to instruct people in dancing. But, hopefully this will go over well, and we'll have people who participate on a weekly basis.

Thursday, my mom, (possibly) brother, and I are making a trip into NYC to get some stuff before I go back to school. Some basic dance clothes and scripts and possibly sheet music. Musical theatre stuff I guess...

This does bring me to my next exciting topic though. Well, I'm gonna be three days late to school. But I'm going to get to attend a Musical Theatre Intensive in NYC August 16-21. I am SO stoked about this. It's so cool and they work with you on EVERYTHING... I cannot express my excitement. It's an entire 6-day intensive focusing on musical theatre. I'm truly at a loss for words. I'm SO nervous and excited about it. And I'm hoping that a lot of good will come from this workshop!

Well, I'll see you guys August 23 if not before! :-D
