The man.
In this moment of time, I’m happy. It’s all because of the summer. I know my mood will change drastically in the next week or so and I’m ready for that. Well, as ready as I can be. So I’m writing why I’m happy now so as not to forget it later. Hmm…maybe Shakespeare did put that line in for a reason.
In just a week or so, I get to perform in Comedy Forever and Ever, a benefit show for Comedy Tonight Productions, with some amazing people. I get to be Snoopy and Princeton all in one show. It will be awesome.
This summer will be amazing. I’m in two fantastic shows, that both require acting and characters and plot development. Both are with my lovely girlfriend and both are stage managed by my best friend. These reasons alone are enough to keep me going.
In a few short weeks I start rehearsal on Macbeth. I’m the part I wanted since I heard that was the show we were doing. I get to act alongside one of my best friends for the majority of the play and I get to be killed on stage. I get to come back as a ghost. How fucking awesome is that? This show is directed by one of my greatest mentors. He’s giving me a challenge. This show will be amazing.
Immediately following Macbeth, or rather actually during the end, I start rehearsals on Hello! My Baby. I’m the part I basically originated which makes me super proud and very excited to be able to act it on stage, not just behind a script. One of the most talented actress/singers I know is the lead and we have several scenes together. The cast is great and it’s directed by my other greatest mentor. The choreographer, writer, and music director are all super awesome. It’s the World Premiere of a new musical. This show will be incredible.
Then, let’s hope for Hairspray.
So thats my summer. I realize this post is incredibly self centered but you know what, it’s the thing I’m gonna look to when it gets incredibly rough very soon. It’s the calm before the storm. At least it will be merely a temporary storm. No worries, I have an amazing summer coming up.
me, myself and i that is. hope it isn’t for long.
Honest. Sincere. Willing to be spontaneous and get my creepiness. Won’t put up with my crap. Encourage me in things that will make me a better person. Knows what’s best for me when I forget. Has my best interest in mind. Available. Available available available. Someone is really there with me…present, in the moment, fully engaged and listening to me, and would expect the same from me.
