Hey everyone!!
I know it's been a while since I wrote, but we've all been kicking our asses in "Sweeney Todd" to make sure we get the music right and everything!
The show is going well, we've got about seven ensemble songs now that we've been working on, and we need to practically be memorized by tonight when we get into rehearsal. I have about 3/4 memorized at this point, using the OBC recording to help me to learn the part, since that's how the music is written, and how the director wants it to sound in the show.
It's always a challange when you walk into a new theatre, a new cast, a new theatre company. Anf this has been no exception. While I'm used to a theatre rehearsing and performing one show at a time, this theatre currently has three shows in rehearsal, "Sweeney Todd" and two others. It's a bit odd to me, more like being in a rehearsal studio in New York, where you need to look at a board to determine what room YOUR show is rehearsing in, rather than a theatre that will soon be mounting a show.
Still looking for that "day job", and have been working on my play a lot lately, since I babysit now and I have about twenty minutes before he gets home from school to write and collect myself before he gets home. Now that I'm not sitting during the day anymore, though I should have even more time to write, and hope to have the play done by the end of the summer-I'm talking about like the first week of September, don't everyone start looking for this show in the middle of August all at once, now! :)
I think that's about it for now, but I promise to write more frequently from here on out, as I know I hardly update anymore. I promise to try to bring an update once a week from now on.
Thanks for your patience!
Til next time.....
