What is your season lineup for this upcoming season?
I have the following auditions to prepare for:
PRELUDE TO A KISS THE MUSIC MAN TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD PICNIC THE HEIDI CHRONICLES
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
I'm doing BYE BYE BIRDIE right now as Ursula at a theater in Boston!! Technically my second time in the role...but not really because I was booted three days before opening last time due to car troubles and not being able to make it to the Sunday tech. *Grr* That was in June and I already got the role again, though, so it's all good, not complaining. :-p
As far as auditions go, I have some coming up for GODSPELL, BAT BOY and maybe a couple others, not sure yet. I really wanna be Maggie in BAT BOY but I don't know if I can do the show because of possible conflicts. Break a leg on your auditions! :)

I will be musical director for the two musicals (my primary occupation), and stage managing for the straight plays (srictly for the money and the Equity health insurance).

I don't know what we're doing, but I know this-teh opne production we have has really professional crew (The director/producer's worked on Broadway and did a movie with Bernadette Peters, the musical director is the rehearsal pianist for Avenue Q) and yet our shows always suck. Why? Our cast really really sucks. They're all really pathetic and have no talent. The one good thing I can say about the show is teh set and they worked hard on it.
Moo with me! And I was Elphaba the Good so if anything that I post sounds like her, it's because I am her!
Right now I'm in Joseph. We've already done Oklahoma, Our Town, King and I and Annie Get Your Gun (summer stock!) and still have 42nd Street coming up. It's pretty insane.
