we're off to film The Mooring

So . . . I leave the day after tomorrow (the 14th)! There'll be a week of pre-production prep, then filming starts! I'll be gone for about a month. Away from my family, away from pretty much all technology (except a phone to call home!), and hopefully having the time of my life. Keep everyone in your prayers--that everything will go well and everyone will stay healthy. If you want updates, make sure to keep an eye on the production blog. Otherwise . . . I'll see you on the other side!

Auditions: Willy Wonka

A week ago I auditioned for the musical Willy Wonka. RTOP, the theatre that put on Fiddler on the Roof and I Remember Mama, is putting on the show this fall. I didn't expect to make auditions . . . I've been out-of-state for awhile and my family and I were driving home the beginning of the week, so I thought I'd miss. But we made it home in time for the final night of auditions, and even though I had absolutely nothing prepared, and didn't even know if their was a role for someone my age, I decided to wing it and try out. I've been having major acting withdrawals lately . . . I miss the theater so much. I wanted to audition just so I could have a chance to perform. I found sheet music online for The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World" since it's an easy song I'm familiar with. The audition itself went really well, considering I hadn't prepared at all. It was so lovely to be at the theater and see everybody, and to have the chance to be on-stage again, if only for a few moments. It's the best feeling. I was on an adrenaline-rush for the rest of the night.
