Up on the Stage

I am coming out of a long string of theatre work. Starting with last summer at Garland Summer Musicals, I've been involved pretty much non-stop and won't be getting a break until The Philadelphia Story closes April 19th. After GSM, I taught Children's Theatre camp at KCCT. Following that, I directed Brighton Beach Memoirs, directed and acted in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, played Miles Gloriosus in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and finally played the lead role of Mike Connor in The Philadelphia Story.

I am the most burned out on theatre that I have ever been. I have my audition for GSM tonight, but I am looking forward to the period from April 20 until rehearsals start for GSM. I should be looking at a little over a month's respite. That's assuming I even get cast for Damn Yankees.

After that, we're taking a family trip to Michigan in July. Then, I may do whatever musical KCCT is doing next season (it's still not decided but we are leaning toward The Music Man), but I'm not planning on directing anything or doing any other shows in the near future.

Of course, that doesn't mean I won't wind up involved in a show. Just that I'm not planning anything right now.
