Sad Titus Calls...

So, Titus Andronicus is officially over and I'm sad. I love Shakespeare and it was such a great experience. Everytime I'm on stage I remember why I'm a Theatre Major. Thanks to everyone who came out and watched it, especially my Back Andrews girls. Now, I have two weeks until Gypsy auditions, a ton of homework that needs to get done, and more projects than I care to remember... Any I couldn't happier :)

Save Alarbus!!

So, opening night of Titus Andronicus went so very well! Everyone was nervous and slightly freaking out, but the play went so smoothly, everyone's blood worked well, and no one missed entrances. Plus the crowd adored us, so I you could say it was a smashing success. I can't wait for the next four nights! Plus my family is coming to see it Saturday so I can not wait! And everyone else should come and see it too!!!

Opening Night Anticipation

So, I have a problem that I like to call "off-stage fright". It's exactly like it sounds. For the entire day right up until the moment the light hits my face on stage I am petrified. As in, so nervous that all I have eaten today is toast. It's like gigantic metal winged butterflies are trying to get out of my stomach, and I play with string trying to calm them down. This morning in Poelvoorde's class I didn't have my string but my hands were acting like they had string and I was staring off in to space, until Becca called my name and I realized that the entire class was staring at me. This is my case of opening night jitters. And I can't stop moving. But on the bright side, opening night is a mere four hours away. I have two hours until fight call that will be spent looking over lines and deep breathing so that I don't pass out. And yes, I am aware that I am currently rambling. So, if anyone sees me acting weird this is why. On with the show!

Finally Fall.... Break!

So, I realize that I haven't posted in almost... forever. Although it doesn't seem like it. Probably because I've been too busy to even breathe!!! With Dollhouse wrapped up my life has gotten slightly less busy. It was a rousing success with about 40 showings, more screams than I can count, and even somone peeing themselves. All in all it was a wonderful introduction to the world of college theatre. Now, I am focusing my sights full speed on Titus, which opens in a week and a half. If you are in the area, definitely come and see it. There is stabbing, killing, blood, and just a whole wonderful mess of stage combat. We get to start using blades this week. Heck yes. Besides all that, I just finished my first ever set of midterms. All I have to say is, What on earth is the final going to be like?! Just kidding... sort of. But they did go well. I am spending my last night at home (Fall Break went by so fast!). I successfully read the entirety of Film Wizardry, which is a book on the making of the Harry Potter films, and I cannot wait for the sequel, From Page to Screen, to come out. It was so fascinating, and I really want to meet Rupert Grint... On a different note, I went to my high school today and received the best hug ever from my favorite ginger. I kind of actually miss it. However I am so ready to return to school tomorrow and to the lovely ladies of Back Andrews! Ta-ta for now!!
