Well, what's most likely to be my final trip to NYC for a long time is coming up fast! I'm leaving Monday morning, seeing RENT that night (and hopefully having some quality Joe-Joe time), seeing Curtains (with John Bolton as Lt. Frank Cioffi) Tuesday night and coming back Wednesday morning. The main reason for the trip is to see John in the lead ( Read more... )

Being that I'm at work crazy early to avoid Lions traffic, I thought now would be a good time to update. The show opened on September 19th - complete with Will's busted kneecap, but he went with it and has continued to do so. However, he does have to get surgery so today is his last day until after he's healed. His understudy will be taking ( Read more... )

We've had two previews for Escanaba in Love and they both have been wonderful! Tonight's audience was absolutely outstanding. It was definitely a house full of Esky fans! I'm so proud of everyone! The actors are amazing and Kevin and Mario are so fantastic! I'm still hoping for an ASM one of these days...but all in all, things are going very well ( Read more... )

First Rehearsal for Esky at the Gem went so well, that we had only a 6 hour day! And, we managed to get in a run of Act I! Hurray for the actors!! I still don't have an ASM so there were about 4 or 5 times when someone called for line and I missed it because I was either writing something down, watching the blocking book, or listening to Guy and ( Read more... )

Well kids, I got back from New York Friday morning (as opposed to Thursday afternoon when I was supposed to) and so concluded my summer of travels. And what a way to go out! I got to Laguardia airport at 2:30PM, only to find out that my 4:45PM flight had been delayed till 7:00PM. Fine. Whatev. I had a book - which I read until I heard that the ( Read more... )

Got back from Las Vegas on Saturday night - it was AWESOME - more details on that (and pictures) to come. Going away party for Joe-Joe tonight and leaving for New York in the morning!!!

Next trip: New York to see Rent and Hairspray (and possibly Curtains again) - August 21-23

Ummmm....(in a Katie-esque tone)...does anyone else ever get thoroughly confused by Equity rules? Like the whole Index telling you to go to page like 78 for rule 59 and rule 59 says that something is so unless 59 (c) applies and if so then you need to go to 59 (c) 2.4572 subplot asterisk roman numeral twelve. Or something like that. At any rate, ( Read more... )

My sister rocks! :-) I was in Pennsylvania last weekend to hang out with my sis and brother-in-law for my birthday and it was awesome! Friday night she took me to the Zoo and I got to see the new polar bear exhibit and the African Safari and a whole bunch of other fun things. Saturday, I got to hang out with Megan and we looked at honeymoon and ( Read more... )

Well, "we" meaning me, of course. *sigh* What an AMAZING trip!!!! :-) So, I arrived Thursday afternoon, hung out with Christopher for a while, then went into the city for dinner and to meet Molly for "Curtains". It was a wonderful show - David Hyde Pierce is just too adorable for words and I am SO GLAD he won the Tony - and my favorite, John Bolton ( Read more... )

So I booked my flight to Vegas, today! :-) August 14-18, I'm staying with Anitra (one of my best friends from college) and I am SO EXCITED!!! Not only is Anitra out there, but Nic and Lexi just moved out there and I just found out my friend Kerri is out there, too!!! :-) I've never been to Vegas so I'm crazy excited! More travel to come ( Read more... )
