Jan. 31 Director!

I directed my first show in a 24hour play festival. It was just a wonderful experience. I owe much love to my brothers in arms, Scott, Brandon and Peter. Plus my sister Christina (the author) It was wonderful to watch a play go from zero to great in just a matter of hours, well 24 to be exact. I am really learning to love this theatre thing!
Peace be with you

Jan. 27 Back from the Windy City

Chicago has some great food. I really had a great time there. Saw some good shows and just enjoyed myself. I am not sure if it is a place I want to move to but I sure did enjoy visiting. We are now in for the slow countdown to the Humana Madness. I am not sure how it's going to go but I am sure it is going to be crazy!!!
I have been thinking a lot about my future after I leave here and I tell you what so far the sky seems to be the limit.
Peace be with you

Jan. 15 Let's Get Dangerous

Today was the last day of scheduled activities for the next two weeks! I get to spend some time sleeping in, romping in the great city of Louisville and Chicago, not at the same time, and I get to spend some good quality time working on projects I have been cooking up since I got here. Shakespeare, Commedia, and more!!!
Today I had an audition for a one night part in the Humana show A Devil at Noon. I am not sure what the chances are I will get the part, but I am very confident that I did good work in the room and I am very happy with my performance.
Peace be with you

Jan. 14 And the Tens Shall Close

It has been a short and dirty run but it has been fun. I have really enjoyed getting to work on these delightful plays. I have really enjoyed getting to work with and meet the playwrite. He is quite a character and it seems totally possible this crazy work of fiction came from his brain. After tonight begins the second little break the apprentices will get this year and the last sort of room to breath we will get until after Humana is over! I am excited for the future.
Peace be with you

Jan. 12 All We Can Do is Hope

Sad news from the Ville.
One of the actors from A Christmas Carol passed away two days ago. Had had been in the resident company for over thirty years here at Actors. I was fortunate enough to get to know him and work with him.
The Tens are a blast. We have two shows to go. The Last Hat, the show I'm in is great. I am very excited about the future.
Next week, the whole company will be traveling to Chicago on a whirlwind audition trip. It's gonna be CRAZY.
Peace be with you

Will: "Love."
Dan: "You think so?"
Will: "I know it."

Jan. 10 Let the Tens Begin

Tonight was our first dress rehearsal for the One Act festival we are in called The Tens. All the shows look really good and are a lot of fun. I am always so excited to get to watch my fellow actors do good work. We open tomorrow night. I think it is going to be a great show. We only have a six performances but I don't care. It's work and we are having fun.
Peace be with you

Jan. 9 Me a Director?

I have been toying with the idea of directing and I am not sure I can pass it up. I really enjoy directing and I think it is an avenue I should pursue. And will hopefully get my chance with a 24hour play festival coming up soon.
I had a good day. There was a meeting this morning. Which I did not fall asleep during because I got nine hours of sleep last night!!!!
Went to a delicious breakfast with my lovely girlfriend! Then had a technical rehearsal for my ten minute show. After I went home, I did laundry, listened to Vivaldi and cleaned my room.
I feel as though I have done quite a bit today.
Peace be with you

Jan. 6 Fun Times in the Pit

What a great day. It was filled with building floors and setting up for the next show here at Actor's Theatre. I don't think I have had this much fun at work before. I don't even remember work feeling like work. Instead I just remember laughing and having just a peach of a time. I could be so lucky again tomorrow.
Peace be with you

Jan. 5 Load OUT

The Christmas Carol set is GONE!!!! YAY. I am kind of having a Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader moment. Now that the set has been DESTROYED I don't know what to do with myself.
The next week is going to be a little crazy but then we get a payed vacation so to speak. I can't wait.
Peace be with you

Jan. 3 TWO out of TWO

Let the second half begin.
I had a great visit at home. It was great to be back in Oregon and see my family and eat at my favorite restaurants.
If I thought the first half went fast, the second half is going to fly. Humana here we come.
I am excited about many of the opportunities I have coming up.
Peace be with you
