Mean

Mean opened last weekend to great reviews! I encourage everyone to see it. It's an amazing show, and I think everyone should see this. Here is the link to the YPC webpage. Even if you're not planning on seeing it, you should at least read their blog, because I believe it will really enlighten you on the kind of work we are doing. If you are planning on seeing it, great! But be sure to get your tickets soon, because we only have one and a half weekends left! The closing performance (Sunday the 27th at 2:00) is already sold out, and others are selling pretty quickly too.

So I hope everyone can come, and that you tell all your friends about the show! ( :

Updates

So right now I am in rehearsals for Mean at Youth Performance Company! The Match Girls Gift ended about two weeks ago.

Mean opens February 10th, so get your tickets now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A lot of our school day performances are selling out, and our weekends are going pretty quickly to! So I encourage everyone to get tickets and come see the show!!!!! It's about bullying, and it's a REALLY great script, with a great cast, and it's gonna be GREAT!!!

Busy!

Well, I have more updates! I can't really remember what I've updated the past couple posts, so I'll just go over all of it!

I'm in The House of the Spirits at Mixed Blood Theater, where I play one of the main characters as a child, so I'm not on stage a lot, but it's still SUPER fun.

I am also doing The Little Match Girls Gift on the U of M Centennial Showboat. We open the day after Thanksgiving! It's also really fun so far. And there are other kids in this one. In the Mixed Blood I'm the only kid!

AND NOW I HAVE THE MOST EXCITING NEWS OF ALL!

Next summer, for 3 WEEKS... I will be attending Stagedoor Manor with my friend Katie!!!!!!!

Stagedoor Manor is a performing arts camp for kids who eat, sleep, and breath theater! It's in NEW YORK CITY, and we spend three weeks there just acting, singing, dancing, and even doing film classes! We have two rehearsals and three or four classes a day. And the most exciting part is that people such as: Lea Michele, Natalie Portman, Robert Downey Jr., Jon Cryer, and Mandy Moore all went there, and that was how they were 'discovered'!

So obviously I'm very excited.

I'll post more soon!

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!
