Random Theatre

Just had the read-through for a new musical/show I am in, Beauty and the Lonely Beast. It's a six person cast and is geared mostly for children, though the happy theme of the show is for everyone. I will be playing Beast who is pretty similar to the movie, but tends to be more depressed in this show.

We had our opening night for 'The Cradle Will Rock' last night and it went really really well. In my scene, I run off the stage to try to save some people from an explosion, but I end up dying in the disaster along with the couple that is madly in love with each other. We had a dress rehearsal with quite a few senior citizens and when I died, they laughed. Kinda funny I thought, but last night, the eerie sound of the explosion seemed to linger in the auditorium. One show down, five more to go.

I sent my information to a conservatory for acting in NYC. They have a two-year program and also a four week summer program that can also be earned for college credits. They called me a few weeks ago expressing a lot of excitement in my interest in the school. They also said that the music knowledge that I have is a great quality to have. There will be auditions for scholarships geared for both the two-year and four week programs. The school is www.sft.edu if you wanted to check it out. I'll let you know what happens.

Also, I have posted more information/songs/lyrics/details/ideas in the musical blogspot. Check it out if you haven't or let me know if you want access.

That's cool about the school in NY. I hope you get a chance to do that.
