I'm not dead!

Due to effective peer pressure on the part of Mr. Aaron Page, I'm updating my blog!

It has been an insane, wonderful month and it has FLOWN by!

I was sick at the beginning of the month, which sucked, but after a couple weeks I finally got better - though I think excessive smoke inhalation at the awesome TRR barbecue last night is giving me another cough. Oh well. Totally worth it.

I am having so much fun. So many TRR people are here already, and next week the Of Mice and Men men (and lady) arrive. There's always a party going on at Barclay! Lara Maerz, our stage manager for Quilters and The Foreigner, and Locklyn, our fabulous costume designer, appear to be nesting, and as a result are constantly making us awesome food. They're definitely two of my new favorite people.

Unfortunately I've had to say some goodbye's already...my Jamie and my Michmouse have left to do their own summer stock gigs, and after this weekend I'll have said goodbye to my Peter
and my Lauren. I'm looking forward to playing and making dinner together on Saturday, but I'm definitely not looking forward to the goodbye. But they all need to come see me in Sarasota on their spring break next year, so it's not goodbye forever. And with facebook, you're just a click away from stalking your friends, so it's easy to keep in touch.

And Aaron Page is moving to Chicago!!! He has a blog all about his adventures, and he's the greatest person ever so you should read it.

There's also another blog you should read for a little theatre company called Tidewater Rep. Go to the website. Read the blog. BE A SEASON SUBSCRIBER!! And ignore the fact that I haven't updated the blog yet this week! Aaah!


Gotta go...time to get ready for the production meeting :)

Adventures in Ferg

Oh man alive, this job is an emotional rollercoaster! I am completely in love with every moment of it, though...even the more-than-slightly-frustrating ones! But I think considering this is TRR's first season, we're doing a damn good job trying to pull all the official stuff together so we can get PLAYING!

Speaking of playing...tonight is the directing class's Directing Showcase. I love love love this show. It's something I've gone to every single year since freshman year and it's always so much fun. It's so student driven and there's always so much excitement and love and LOTS of laughter. And to make it even better...Aaron Page will be in town to see it! (And he also started a darling blog!) I can't wait to see him and see the scenes. There are a lot that we did two years ago in my first directing class - including the very first thing I ever directed, Women of Manhattan, scene 4. So it'll be fun to see new actors with familiar characters and the new directors' creations!

Well, that's pretty much all the time I have...this was a fairly useless update, I guess, but considering how stupidly busy I continue to become, I just wanted to update to say that I'm alive!! :)
