STAGEright

Help out STAGEright Theatre Company with their production of Floyd Collins.  It is a not for profit company running out of Seattle, Washington that was founded in 2009.  In it's four years, it has never amassed debt of any kind and the Artistic Director would love to keep it that way.  You can find the link to their campaign on the right.  It is labeled "STAGEright Campaign".

One Week Warning

A week left until the opening of "The Nutcracker"! Today and Saturday are the last two days that the cast has to rehearse their specific roles without the added stress of costumes, sets, and lights. On Monday it all comes together; we begin to see the spectacle and the show takes its form.

Fantastic Beasts

I need to say something and I need you not to laugh.  I really want to do "Fantastic Beasts".  Like really, really want to.  I am a huge J.K. Rowling fan; especially of anything having to do with the wizarding world.  It seems like the ideal project for me.  I am a complete unknown in the acting world and feel that as such I can become a character better than Collin Firth or Maggie Smith at this point in my career.  Not to say that I am a better actor than them; far from it.  I am merely pointing out that they will always be known by a good chunk of the world as the actor playing the character, not as the character.  This is the unavoidable trap that every actor falls into eventually; that they will be known as themselves by someone.  Anyway, I also think the timeframe is on my side.  It would most likely be auditioning mid 2014 at the earliest seeing as how there is no deadline for the script and assuming characters have gotten as far as "Newt Scamander".  Now, as this is WB, they will probably already be aiming for some big Hollywood star for Newt.  However, this is still being held together by Rowling, and she might want to see someone other than the disastrous teen twilight gang trying not to ruin her movie.  I think she will push for auditions as much as she can so as to keep her story fresh.  I don't know, though.  I just want to audition.

The Nutcracker

Today is my first party parent rehearsal for Cache Valley Civic Ballet's production of "The Nutcracker"!  It feels surreal to have started, sixteen years ago, as a party boy and to now be a party parent.  May the number thirteen be ever so lucky!

Update

Just to update, ShakesFEAR was a blast!  I got to go to Cedar City for a week and do that as Puck and audition for An Ideal Husband which I did not get in to.  I learned that Puck was created around me!  I've never had that happen before!  I also got to meet a few new freshman, so I am glad I spent a week down there.  I was asked to do CVCB's The Nutcracker last week and will be a party parent, a mouse, and an arabian.  I invite you to look at my pictures and tell me how I will pull off an arabian.  I have confidence I will, however, and the production will be great.  May the number thirteen be lucky just this once!
