Wow... cannot believe how incredibly long it has been since I posted last. A lot has been happening in my life the past couple of months. Been working my two regular jobs, rehearsing "Sweet Charity" with GCP, opened "Sweet Charity", ran it and finally closed. With running back and forth to Fresno every day I didn't have time enough to blog.
What is next for me? I auditioned for another GCP production, "Babes in Toyland, Barnaby's Story", a play with music, at 2nd Space and was cast as "Grumio", the equivalent to Le Fou in Beauty and the Beast, except I actually "do" bad things. I initially did not audition for that part but had so much fun at the Call Back for it that I changed my mind about it...the role called for "The Surfer Dude Type"; which we all know is not me. If you come and see the show be prepared for a lot of "dude"-ing from me. At last count I have 27 dudes in a 40 page script. In fact, at the initial auditions one of the readers lost their place and the director called out: "When in doubt, say dude!" Classic. Really looking forward to this production. Same director as "Charity" and a few of the same cast members including Frenchy and Monty. Even "Aunt Tami"! Going to be such a fun experience to get to develop a character and play it for an entire show. Which is different from ensemble work where you play multiple characters in a production.
Talk of the Avenal Center is beginning to become more promising and cannot wait for plans to become finalized. Once they do I will be moving to the City to be closer to the theater and to friends. I will post a few production pics as soon as I get them uploaded.
Cannot wait to see "Hairspray" on opening night!!! The production looks legit.
