What's going On with Me

Well, I'm about to wrap up my last month of college. Pretty scary, as one would expect.  Before I graduate though I will celebrate my first full length play by having formal presentation on April 20th at 4 PM. There will be a staged reading, and prior to my presentation, Rivka will present her thesis, a one-woman play.  It should be a pretty interesting afternoon, and everyone is welcome to join us! Please let me know if you do intend to come though, so that I can make sure there are enough seats.

After that is graduation on May 6th. No big deal, it should be fine. Feel free to send me gifts. 

After that is my first equity related job. I have been cast in the Arkansas Shakespeare Festival, and I am looking forward to it alot.  I basically have about five lines in the entire festival, but I am in two plays! And I will be working with really experienced directors... not to mention a lot of friends. Anyway, that wraps in late June, and after that I hope to maybe write a musical... with Chad? I dunno, we briefly mentioned it. And also, the First Street Players, an acting company I cofounded, might be having an informal showing of some of our original work. We'll see.

THEN... I guess I'm off to the Big Apple to train with that same studio I trained with last summer... I am a litte anxious about that though.  I just wish I knew whether or not I was making the right decision.  It's such a HUGE risk... but I think regardless of if the training is worth it, at least I'll get a lot of lifetime experience.  Phil is coming with me, and hopefully Darwin too. My dog. 

As for what's been going on with me lately, I just wrapped on the First Street Players first orignal production, Memories of a Rainforest, at the Museum of Discovery. Chad wrote the music/lyrics, and I think it turned out really great.  Look for the First Street Players in Music on here and add us. And I'm on Spring Break... WOO. I planted some giant cabbages, and I went to the highest point in Arkansas. Lost every bet at the horse races today. And... I have eaten FAR FAR too much this week. I'm a fatty.

That's about it with me. Please let me know what's up with you, and if you want a formal invitation to either graduation or my thesis prestentation just message me your address.
