Hello Blogger.com!
Hmm...what to say in my first ever entry? All I can think about is my xanga from high school and all those teen open diaries-woof. Angst every day.
Well it is absolutely gorgeous out-I'm obsessed with this weather- spring has been officially skipped and my lobster complexion is living proof of the sunny days (WARNING: do not touch my back). The semester is winding down and I'm absolutely thrilled to travel back out to the Mac Haydn Theatre in Chatham, NY, performing in their full season of seven musicals from May to September. To kick off the season, I will soon be watching Summer Stock starring Judy Garland and Gene Kelly with a bottle of wine. Woo Hoo!
Its scary to think my junior year of college is close to a wrap up- woah momma. I had a fabulously fortunate semester, performing twice on the ravishing stage of the regional Alexander Kasser Theatre located on campus in one of my favorite musicals Crazy for You and the world premiere adaptation of the classic German play Homburg. Both shows turned out to be utterly amazing experiences for me as a performer- I had a blast being sucked into the worlds of both pieces. I also got to perform in The Vagina Monologue with some fierce females at MSU for playwright Eve Ensler's V-Day Campaign and it has become one of the most rewarding projects of my life. I also interned in the spring with Bret Adams Talent Agency, Ltd in the big bad city and learned a bunch about the biz while gossiping daily about Broadway divas with my boss. I joined a showcase company called The Actor's Project in NYC and also did a cabaret at the Luna Stage when not involved with the department shows. I have become a Twilight fan- you can currently find my nose stuck in Eclipse- and Adele is the most played artist on my IPOD. Grey Gardens starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange was indeed an event of the year and Hair on Broadway filled me with love. Britney Spears is back and better than ever. Billy Blanks still kicks my ass everytime in my apartment when I work out to his dvds. I broke my right wrist and tore a ligament in my right ankle all this year, but my battement did not suffer. My parents still prove to be two of the most miraculous people in the world and my friends still remain my backbone. I guess I can say the year was more than successful, despite my time in casts (totally rocked them). I truly feel thankful and so alive!
Please enjoy my wesbite- aaah- I can't believe I have one- and don't hesitate to contact me!
Best of luck to all!
