School....

So today I went to Orientation for my new school............. It was all I had hoped for and better ( : I know a couple of people going there, but not a lot... I'm taking drama, choir and computer class as electives. The only thing I definitely wasn't expecting was the levels. I will explain. See, I have to take all accelerated classes for 7th grade and beyond. But when I got to my classes, the teachers all said that we would be normally working at a 9th grade level! Ugh.

Quick updates!

Soooooooooo... the 27th (2 days ago) was my 12th birthday! I had camp most of the day then went to the State Fair with my friend.

Good updates!

I got into Afternoon of the Elves at Youth Performance Company! I am playing the role of Sara-Kate (there are actually only 6 people in the cast. 2 adults, 4 kids).

I also got into a show at the Mixed Blood Theater called House of Spirits. And yes, that is the one thats almost entirely in Spanish! So hopefully that will turn out well....

So this means I can't do Annie at the Phipps, because both these shows run in the Fall and a little into Winter...

I'll update more later!

School...

Well, we start school in about 3 weeks. I'm trying to enjoy the last bit of summer as much as possible...

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof got cancelled, so now I don't have a show for the fall. I've been doing some auditions, and I'll just give you a list.

• Afternoon of the Elves at Youth Performance Company. I got a callback, and that is on Monday.
• House of Spirits at Mixed Blood Theater. THE WHOLE SHOW IS IN SPANISH! And at my audition there were only three of us. And they are double casting the role, so I might have a good chance.
• I auditioned for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the Ordway, and I got a callback, but I couldn't go because of Canada. THEN Canada got cancelled but nobody was answering they're phones there so I never went to the callbacks.
• Next week I have an audition for Annie at the Phipps Center (where I did Sound of Music)
• Next YEAR they are doing Annie at CTC and I'm auditioning for that also.

So, those are my latest auditions. I will update soon to let you know about them ( :

I can't believe summer's almost over!

No!!!! Summer cannot be ending!!! Anyways... Updates.

We started rehearsals for Music Man with North Como Summer Theater (turns out you didn't have to audition, just show up for rehearsal and they pick who plays Amaryllis and Winthrop there), and guess what? I'm Amaryllis! So, that show opens in about two weeks. We are in the middle of the rehearsal process, and it's going pretty well.

This fall I have Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at Torch Theater.

And it turns out we might do Miracle Worker again! They are not sure, but it is a possible yes ( :

Well, those are all the updates for now! I'm gonna try to savor every moment of the rest of summer! At least I get to go on vacation again... I'm going to Canada with my friend Lia! Yay!

Also on Wednesday, I am going in to read/audition for the role of Coco in Coco's Diary at the History Theatre! Coco is 13, so I might be to young but they asked me to come anyways. The show will perform for the governor at his mansion!

Anyways! About our vacation...

WE ARE DRIVING TO NEW YORK! We are leaving on June 26th and driving to Ohio to stay with my Aunt for a night, then driving out to New York to stay with my Uncle! Yay!

We will be gone for about ten day's. But the best part is... I am seeing Wicked on Broadway! Yippee!! I will also be seeing American Idiot because my brothers and I all love Green Day!

I'm also really excited because then the morning after American Idiot, we are getting a tour backstage of Wicked! It's something called Behind the Emerald Curtain, where cast members come show you around backstage! I'm SO excited! The only bad thing about this vacation is being stuck in the car with my brothers for 20 hours! Yuk! Oh well... It'll still be AWESOME!

Anyways, I will update soon about A Christmas Story...
