For those of you who haven't been keeping up with my life, I have been cast as the lead role in Private Eyes. I have been sooo excited about starting this show and I've told just about anyone who will listen all about it.

A while ago, I asked someone when they thought rehearsals would start for this show. I was told that it wouldn't be until AFTER ( Read more... )

The audition for the Highland Summer Theatre show Cinderella was today! In natural Matt Atwood style, I procrastinated and then freaked out at the last minute. My monologue was super funny, my song was super out of breath (due to the fact that my monologue was really hyper) and I left assuming I'd get a chorus role in Cinderella.

A little over an ( Read more... )

Well March is here and its looking to be an awesome month!

The Crucible will be concluded by Sunday. This has been a really fun show, but I'm glad to be done with it. I'm really excited about the next show Private Eyes. I'm sure that show is going to ROCK!

Wednesday, March 16th in the early morning, Devanie and I will be boarding a flight headed ( Read more... )

I woke up at 5 this morning to drive Devanie to her physical training at MSU. Even though she has a parking permit for the lot directly accross the street from the place she works out, I like to get up with her and drive her there...because it makes her happy.

This morning it was particularly cold. After dropping her off, I drove back to her ( Read more... )

Tonight is the official opening of "The Crucible." I sit now in the Green Room writing in this journal to calm my nerves.

Normally, I have a kind of ritual to prep myself for opening night. I try to fill my day with things that will make me energetic physically and mentally.

First, the physical. Its essential to get plenty of rest the night before ( Read more... )

Well, rehearsal is done. I started writing down all of the funny and ridiculous things the director said (without realizing what she said of course) so when I've compiled enough, you can bet I'm gonna post them on here! Meanwhile, here are some other quotes that I like.

I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen...and replaced by ( Read more... )

So North Korea announces for the first time that our worst fears have come true. They do in fact have nuclear weapons. Now we all know how much N. Korea hates S. Korea and how they equally hate the United States. This concerns me.

Anyway, its really cold outside. I just walked from the campus to "The Hub" where I now sit and work on my stuff. ( Read more... )

Last night, auditions were held for the last 4 shows of the MSU-M theatre season. The Swan, Will Rogers Follies, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, and Private Eyes.

So from 6:00 until 11:00 I auditioned, and auditioned, and auditioned. I later found out I was cast as Matthew in Private Eyes. So, when The Crucible is finished, I'll be making ( Read more... )

I have now just finished my 10 hour memorization spree for The Crucible. For those of you who are unaware of this play, read it....for those of you who are aware of it, I play the part of Deputy Governor Danforth. I do not appear until ACT II, but I have approximately 79% of ALL LINES in said act.

I began my journey at 3:00 this afternoon using the ( Read more... )
