Well… with just a little over three weeks to go, I FINALLY tracked down a capable accompanist who is not going to bail on me. This morning, we met at the studio and it sounded great (even if my accompanist was doing little more than sight reading). While K did a fine job of playing […]

Ok… let’s go back to the show I have been cast in. Just to remind everyone where I am. I have probably 95% of my lines memorized for The Hound of the Baskervilles BUT (as most who know me well know) line memorization is no where near enough for me. Acting is much more reaction

On to another great post! Thursday afternoon was my first voice lesson in about two and a half years. I am pleased to say I am very ecstatic about the next coming months! We began with a review (for me) about breathing, support, the diaphragm, the mask, and other technical terms that we quickly glossed

I have it on good authority that tomorrow will be a beautiful day. I just don’t listen to the weatherman! It wouldn’t rain on my parade! I got to sit in with the Bryan City Band at rehearsal (the director found me a suitable tuba, thank you!) and conduct my piece. He asked me before

Sorry for the gaps between posts but really hard to find time between working at 6AM Monday morning. Getting to bed at 3AM Tuesday morning. Reading, rereading, typing, retyping, running lines with my sister, rehearsal and everything else. After Monday night’s practice I was not sure what I had gotten myself into. But after some

After tonight’s rehearsal, I am even more excited. There are some issues to be ironed out but what show doesn’t all the way to opening. Mary send me a text during rehearsal commenting on one of the aspects of the show. Something that is very noticeable but I think is essential and makes it even
I don’t know if it’s because this is the most dramatic show I’ve ever been part of, the smallest cast, or a combination of the two but I’m really starting to feel a bit of pressure. I keep going through the script and I’m doing fine (just a few beats I’m having trouble with)… I

So the last two nights have been dedicated to walking through Miracles. We were warned that we would be “using book as little as possible.” However, it was more of a see how much we know with less than 3 weeks to go! It is so difficult to feel comfortable until we get on the

The last two rehearsals have been dedicated to blocking the entire show… preliminary blocking anyway. You just know that it is going to change, particularly when we get our two weeks (of rehearsal) time on the stage. But even to get that little idea in your head as to what you will be doing on
But It WAS A Productive Rehearsal! Read More »
tonight, the cast had a brush up rehearsal. Necessary when you have a two weekend run to keep it fresh in our minds so it doesn’t become stale. Well… it may not have become stale, but it was far from sane! It was just a fun, goofy time something that could have definitely made the
