Woah, its been a while.

Well hello Blogger family!
My, has it been a long time since I've posted anything. Let's see,
1. Phantom is LONG gone. It was a nice, crazy experience with lots of dramadrama and tears, but ultimately it was successful.
2. Picasso at the Lapine Agine was great- I was on the props team and made some great-looking bottles of raspberry vodka.
3. The Tragedy of Julius Caesar turned into J'Caes- a ghetto-fabulous adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic. Very classy. Very powerful. I was in the chorus and on for two scenes, but it was a great experience and it landed us in the top three winners at Festival this year.
4. Children's Letters to God was wonderful. We ran into some problems involving music, etc. but we powered through and I learned that I need to take responsibility, not blame, for actions and things that end up going wrong. Plus, I loved my cast and they loved me (for the most part, I think. Except the one time I was mean and I feel awful. But I guess that's the life of a director, right?) But it was the most powerful lesson that I have ever learned in my life and I will never forget it and I will always cherish it. Not everybody can say they've made history, and even though mine was on a smaller scale, it made a huge impact on my life, so I am honored to have been chosen. If any of you are reading this, I love you all very much and thank you Mr. Towers for the opportunity to direct these wonderful people.
5. To Kill A Mockingbird is the show I am currently working on. It is being directed my Burgess Clark and it is an adaptation for the stage from the classic novel by Harper Lee. It is with Boston Children's Theatre- look it up if you want to come. It is going to be great :] I'm on;y in one scene but the people playing the principles are wonderful.
6. Blood Wedding is happening at my school currently- there is a performance tonight (which I am happy to say that I will be seeing!!) and I think there might be one tomorrow and then next week there are two more. I will not be there for the second weekend, as it will be the opening performances of TKaM, but I am proud of my school and my friends for putting on such an amazing production. I have only seen the costumes and makeup so far, but I know that it is going to be an incredible show. Plus there are only 3 seniors, I guess. Maybe 4 or something- that's what I overheard. I am probably terribly incorrect and will end up embarrassing myself but whatever.
7. I'm no longer in school! Well, that's kind of a lie, but I am on internship currently, here at BCT. Its great- I'm working Props for TKaM, I've been helping a lot with costumes lately (the Ham is going to be fabulous) and I am organizing Daniel's vocal studio. It has been a long 11 days (today was my 11th day) I am going to be averaging 30 hours a week. Right now, I'm at about an average of 5.5454545454545 hours per day, meaning 38 hours per week. Pretty solid, I'd say. Its a requirement that I take 30 hours a week, so I am pretty pleased with this current statistic. Plus tomorrow, I'll probably be getting a few more hours in due to the crazy Saturdays (don't even get me started on what happened on the 16th.
8. I am doing the Broadway Cares Cabaret again! Just don't ask me any details yet because currently I do not know them!
9. I have chosen a college. I'm going to Pace University in New york City :]

I love you all- I have to go back to work, but I'm excited to be back :] Perhaps I'll post some of my required journal entries here!

Have a wonderful day!
