I cannot wait until this week is over.

After almost a year on the road, the end is in sight.  Just one more week on the road, and then I *finally* get to return to the States, do the equivalent of a strike, and move on to the next phase of my life.

"Now Jared," you might say, "You've been complaining about this job for months.  What makes now any ( Read more... )

 So Tracy Letts surprised exactly no one by winning the Pulitzer Prize for his play "August: Osage County."  And he 100% deserved it ( Read more... )

So we all know Sondheim is a genius, and I have found another reason why.  It is called "Anyone Can Whistle."  The music if FABULOUS!  It's Sondheim meets jazz, and it's actually a dance show, too!  Although I can see why it only ran for 9 days when it opened in the 60s (the show was ahead of its time), I don't see why it isn't done more often or ( Read more... )

*As you can see, this entry is quite long.  If you're pushed for time or just plain lazy, you should skip down to the numbers and just read my reviews of the shows I saw.  They're the most interesting part.*

I am currently on the East Coast again (thank God!) and on vacation, which has been wonderful.  I am once again rooming with Jake (although ( Read more... )

So I've finally decided to join seemingly the entire world by opening up a YouTube account, and I currently have 7 videos posted.  Right now they are entirely made up of material I am going to be putting on an audition tape that I will send out to theatre companies in lieu of actually going to the big cattle call auditions like UPTAs and SETC (as I ( Read more... )

Random life moment:  I was in the optomistrist's office for an eye exam today, and while filling out paperwork I got to list my occupation as "Actor."  Weird ( Read more... )

This past Saturday afternoon I went to see the film adaptation of "Sweeney Todd," which to this day remains my absolute favorite musical of all time, 4 am tech rehearsals non-withstanding ( Read more... )

So I have decided that I need to find some way to get my ass back to NYC in March 2008.  I have decided this because of two shows:  "Gypsy" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ( Read more... )

I am bored out of my mind right now.  It is the last week of my tour before the winter break, and I am in the smallest town I have ever visited.  They don't even have a grocery store.  I'm serious.  But for some reason they have a bed and breakfast, which is where I'm staying.  Except the town made a deal with the owners for us to stay here for ( Read more... )

 
Well, it’s been a while since I wrote one of these, huh?  Part of the reason for the delay has been my haphazard internet access out on the road.  The other part has been the simple fact that I don’t have much to report.

I’m currently in Montana.  The same state I’ve been in since September.  At first it was fun, as I had never been this far west ( Read more... )
