It has been Months, but I'm back!

Hello people!
Well... person.
I am here to talk about a few things this blog post. The topics will be as follows:
1. Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS
2. Evening of One Act Plays
3. BCT and Bri!
4. BroadwayPants

1. Broadway Cares
Currently I am sitting in a very hot and humid Marine Biology room pretending to do a project on oil spills (well, not actually pretending- for more info go HERE)and I am reflecting upon the wonderful success that was the Broadway Cares Club Cabaret! My friend Krissy is the president of the Broadway Cares Club here at school and I am the Vice President :] We co-chaired/directed a Cabaret about a month ago now. The cabaret consisted of many musical theatre numbers as well as some EXTREMELY talented individuals. Footage will be posted on my youtube channel at some point (soon I hope!!) and I will post pictures once we all go through the pictures that were taken and sort out the good and bad. I just wanted to give a little shout out to the wonderful people who helped and I thank you all! I love you so much :] We ended up making over $600, so you should all be proud. :]

2. Evening of One Act Plays
This happened a few weeks ago now, but there were 3 black box shows to see and I saw them all 3 times :) one role in each show was double cast, so I had to see both and everyone was wonderful! Krissy directed a show called The American Century, Jen directed 27 Wagons Full of Cotton, and Katie directed The Pokey.
The American Century was a play about family and a boy who shows up at the house of his parents post WWII. He is their son from the future and things all get jumbled and confused, but it is wonderful. The cast (Jill, Jackie, Nate, and Johnny) was amazing and everybody did absolutely wonderfully. The chemistry between them was real and believable. My mom loved it too. (My dad showed up about two seconds after the show started and so, he missed the whole thing because it was in the Black Box and if someone comes in late to a Black Box show, it just disrupts everything.) Wonderful job! Congratulations :]
27 Wagons Full of Cotton was more difficult to follow, but it was wonderfully directed and cast. It was about a married couple who have issues (abuse, arson, etc.) and a plantation burning down. What was cool, though, was it was a political allegory to the Good Neighbor Policy. The cast (Michelle, Alexa, Dylan, and Ryan) was believable and I could see the situation and how it was all affecting them. The set was really cool, too. They made a legit PORCH on the stage with a swing and a screen door and everything. It was great.
The Pokey was very interesting. It was the most modern, I would say. It was about a rockstar who wakes up in the jail of a town in MiddleOfNowhere, Texas (aka Prolly). She swears a lot and jumps around and is crazy, but likes books and befriends the jailor who is never named :( The end was cute and I was glad the last line was, "you motherrrr" because that just makes it funnier. The cast (Patty, Emily, and Matt) made it completely hilarious. All three were perfectly cast. It was great
A Job WELL DONE to the directors, casts, and crews of all three of these wonderful productions!!

3. BCT
I am proud to announce that this summer I will be working with Boston Children's Theatre (LINK!) to improve my skills as a performer and to be in one of two productions: The Drowsy Chaperone or The Wedding Singer. Personally, I hope to be cast in The Wedding singer after the whole Chicago thing. (In cast you didn't know, Chicago was not the BEST experience I have ever had in my life. It was incredible fun, however the comments that were made on my hair were a bit much.) Needless to say, I do not want to cut my hair for the 1920s again. Either way, this summer is going to be wonderful. I am so very excited to join this company for another "season". My plan right now is to document the summer in the form of a reality show (giving an update of some sort each day or week or possibly bi-weekly.) and making "episodes". The show will be on my youtube channel all summer and should be pretty dramatic and fun :P Hopefully I can get some good "interviews" from new friends to make it even better. I'm pretty pumped about this plan. I'm not going to lie. I am super duper excited to be living in the dorms and I am eagerly awaiting the information about rooming. That is the update as of right now for that particular area. Hopefully I will be learning more soon! I can't wait :]

4. BroadwayPants
Well. It is my pleasure to introduce BroadwayPants. I am not exactly sure how this is going to work yet, but I have decided to announce this anyway. The people who read this blog are most likely familiar with the pants that I create when seeing certain Broadway shows. I have decided to extend this project with the world. For right now, I am taking orders for the summer. Half of the proceeds will go to Broadway Cares, the other half will go to the BroadwayPants fund which will help pay for new sharpies and materials that go into MAKING the pants. Email requests to: Tootsiepopowl210@gmail.com (For now. This will change later. I will post an update for a new email address in the coming months)

I hope that you all have a wonderful week!!
I love the people reading!
Don't be afraid to comment :]
Love,
Bri <3
