Let Me Check My Schedule

So a lot of activity happening in the next few weeks. City of Angels closes today after a very good run. Only eight performances, but they were done over four weeks so it seems like this show has been going for a while. Auditions for Sherlock Holmes' Excellent Adventure are this Monday and then on Wednesday, I have to fly across the country for my work to give a training. Too, some theatre friends of mine have asked me to join them in a benefit performance later in September so there will be a few rehearsals for that, too.

Of course, it's always nice to be wanted and as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. But, trying to do it all can be tiring. Of course, I don't have any part in Sherlock Holmes yet. While the director did ask me to audition, you don't actually have the role until you have the script in your hand.

Work has stepped up the number of trainings they wish to provide which means more office travel. I've been lucky with some of the training sessions work has asked me to do. I've been able to visit Alaska, Hawaii, Germany, and Japan. As an Air Force brat, I do like to be able to see the rest of the world. I hope I'll be able to keep up my acting habit as well as travel.

Of course, City of Angels was a bit of a scheduling issue, too. Two other directors were asking me to audition for them: A production of You Can't Take It With You and a production of See How They Run. I had done YCTIWY a few years back and wasn't sure I wanted to do it again and while I love working with the director of SHTR, I really wanted to do CoA. I'm a big fan of the Manhattan Transfer and the arranger of CoA was their arranger (which is why the Angel City 4 sounds so much like them). I count myself fortunate to not only have made it into the cast but also to be playing Stine. It was a good run.
