Support my show in the Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival!

We are taking an as yet unnamed show to The Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival; a brand new festival in Salt Lake City, Utah that is focused on the performing arts. I have been wanting to write, direct, and produce a show of this level for some time now and the opening of The Great Salt Lake Fringe Festival is the perfect opportunity to do just that. Along with Rand Einfeldt and Monica Cutler, I am creating a show of a professional level that will be seen later this year.

We almost have a set script that combines the trials of high-school with the moral dilemma of animal rights; the overarching theme of the play being that animals should be left to their own devices. The design for the play is minimalistic and, besides set, there are not a whole lot of design elements. For example: light up and lights down are really the only light cues, and the only sound cues are physically created on stage.

In order to create the best show possible, the production team and I have already started acquiring the space needed for callbacks and rehearsals, dealing with transportation, and paying the cost of attendance. This is all being done early so that, when the cast is announced, we can be completely focused on the show.  Please click here to learn more.

Happy February!

It's February!  We have three weeks of rehearsals left for High School Musical Jr. and the show is going to be great.  We haven't finished blocking the later scenes, but the earlier ones are looking great, so I'm not worried.  We rehearse through February twenty-seventh.

I had an audition for Over the River and Through the Woods (let's see how many words we can fit into the title without people getting bored), but didn't get it.  Same thing with Salt Lake Acting Company's (SLAC) production of Yesterday's Voyeur.

My next audition is OLRC on the fourteenth, Rocky Mountain Summer Stock Theatre Auditions (RMSSTA) on the twenty-first, and Disney's The Little Mermaid on the twenty-third.

I am waiting to hear from the Murray Arts Council as well as the Sandy Arts Guild about coming in to direct their productions of Annie Get Your Gun and Into the Woods respectively.

I am waiting to hear back from The Hogle Zoo on a position, UFOMT on a production position, and, of course, USF on an acting position as well as a production position.

To top it all off, my step-sister and her fiancé are getting married on March seventh; which just happens to be my brother's birthday.

As I was writing this, I realized exactly how busy I actually am: three auditions this month as well as three prospective interviews (USF usually holds interviews in late March or early April, and I'm assuming UFOMT is the same way).  Of course, we're treating HSM as an incredibly long interview for me, so four interviews in reality.
