Wow its been FOREVER since i wrote here. A lot has happened since that summer in the northwoods. After returning home from a wonderful summer and experience i finally got a chance to spend some time with family. My cousin Kayleigh was in the hospital so i decided to take a few days and go and visit her and my family in VA. I always love going to visit them.
Then it was finally time to return to my beloved city. I was nervous that it wasnt going to be how i wanted it to be since i left it in such a bad mood. As soon as i stepped out of the subway and smelled the fall air, all of the great memories flooded back. I got back into my routine of visit friends, practicing at school, and auditioning. The audition scene was a little different. Since it wasnt the crazy springtime season, things were a bit slow. I was also trying to get a nannying job but for some reason people seems to think because im an actor that im not responsible. I blame lindsay lohan. Then i got an email back with an appointment time for something i submitted for weeks prior and forgotten all about. I went into the audition with American Family Theater with this weird feeling like it was going to be a good one. One reason was because i hadn't gotten up at 4:30 am just wait for 5 hours before i could do anything. Everything went swimmingly and i had a great feeling about it. Every actor can feel it. Its something in your head that just says: "that'll do, that'll do" (Babe reference anyone?) Long story short i booked the job. Left the next day for my cousins wedding in VA (which we almost missed because no one had the common sense to read the invitation for the time) and started packing for a 7 week tour of PINOCCHIO.
The week of rehearsals in Philly was an awesome experience. With putting up the king and i in 3 days this summer, a week felt like a vacation. Everything was very professional, down to the very last wig cap. Before we knew it we were on our way to our first venue. I was freaking out because the rehearsal space was like 4 times smaller than the stage we were about to perform on. I always worry way too much about the littlest things. Well the show went well and so did the rest of the tour. From eating guac out of a soap dish with the manager of the hotel to watching summer heights high in dublin, ga. Our semi vacation in florida to the corner pocket in nawlins. Freezing cold texas to corky's bbq and graceland in memphis. Children screaming pinocchio's name to children asleep in the front row. Forgotten ribbons, tripping on the hula hoop, doors not opening, tripping over the stump, wings left in the truck, zippers not working, noses flying off the face, dropped lines, added lines, and last but not least, the FOP. Great times with great people! Now its christmas time in PA. there really is nothing like it. I love the traditions we have around christmas. Midnight madness at Shady Maple. Christmas eve at Grove. Christmas eve party with my loud and wonderful family. and this year i get an ever bigger present. Rory comes to vist! Amy and Chad's wedding on new years eve! So much happiness im pretty sure i might explode.
Wishing all of you a wonderful holiday season!
