To Kill a Mockingbird

We have successfully put on 4 shows, which only leaves 9 performances left for TKaM!! Crazy, right? Today we had back-to-back school performances. I was a field trip once again. That's pretty solid, I think :] The cast is so incredible. It is an honor to work with them every day- truly. I know that a lot of people probably say things like that and don't really mean them, but honestly, I love going to rehearsal and doing the shows. I have so much fun with the people around me. It is wonderful to be here all of the time. It really gives me a sense of community. Plus, working with the "adult" actors is helping me learn a lot as well. It is a team effort.

My part in the show is minimal performance-wise, but I don't mind that. The court scene is long and intense and exciting to watch. We sit and fan ourselves and react like southern racists. Quite fun, actually. But the most exciting part of the show for me are the scene changes. We have extremely involved scene changes at the beginning and end of the court scene. They involve moving stairs, making doors into windows, turing a house into a judge's bench, getting rid of flower boxes, bringing on benches, etc. etc. It is CRAZY. Rachel and I are a power team- today, we literally had our part of the scene change done in less than one minute. I'm having a lot of fun with this. I'll post some videos of Jess and I on youtube later- I'll link it here when I do that!

In other news: I am currently trying to make my life work so that I can successfully audition for and be cast in a production of Hairspray. It begins rehearsals on May 31st and ends its run on July 3rd. Studio 4 starts on July 5th, so it would be crazy, but extremely doable. Such is the life of a theatre artist, right? I'd love for my life to be like that all of the time. Soon, it will be I hope! Show after show after show. I won't be present for the physical auditions, but I am going to send in a video. Sadly, I cannot make up the dance portion, but hopefully my video, headshot, and resume will be enough. My one really big issue right now is that I do not have my license. Hopefully, I will within the next few weeks, however. That would make my life SO much easier. Or rather, it would make my life for my parents so much easier. Yes I am 18. But I'm always busy! Hw can I get a license?! That, and I am somewhat lazy.

Alright!
So, that is my life right now. I'll actually keep this updated from now on. I tend to feel like talking pretty often nowadays!!
