CREEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKK! **Dust Dust** “Is anyone still there?”

Okay, on a whole I fail as a blogger. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say (thank you for holding back your laughter those who know me), it’s just that I have been too busy to say it. I know that there is little amending that can be done other than to start blogging again and hope that people will still actually tune in to read. Silly me.

Well, right now I am in a musical. This will be my second music in the last, oh let me see, it’s June, so that would mean the last decade. The last musical I was in was over six years ago. I was the untitled roll of Chef number 2 in Hello Dolly. So basically, the pivotal roll in the show for those who saw it. Yeah I know.

Well, kindly the director of The Music Man at RMT asked me if I would come try out for the show, cause she said that there was a part she had pictured me in. I was pretty sure she was asking people to come audition, as most directors do, because they want a lot of people to come audition for a show. So I shrugged it off, however much the chance to be in a show peeked my interest. I wasn’t even going to be town the day of the auditions anyway. As they got closer, SO many people signed up. I didn’t even consider asking to come to callbacks. But the director asked again if I was gonna audition. I am not trying to paint a picture, like I was this unattainable talent. I am not yet that delusional. Yet. I was shocked though, as she seemed quite sincere. Then the producer asked. Then the night of call backs came. The assistant director came into the box office where I was working, and handed me a sheet for the callbacks, and said she would see me in there.

I gotta say, I was totally overwhelmed by their generous attitude toward me. It felt wonderful that someone thought of me for a part. This may have happened to my brothers and friends, but honestly, it has never happened to me before. So I went in, and read the little paragraph. They seemed to like it, and people laughed. Even just auditioning was a treat. It was. It was a thrill, so actually being cast in the show would only be icing on the cake….

But I did get cast. It’s not a huge part by any means, and I certainly am not the best dancer, but it is fun. And the cast is wonderful. And the director(s) are amazing. And I love it. I really do.

So basically, that is what I am doing every night this summer.
