MDT SHOWCASE!!!!



So, I had a great weekend! It started Thursday, when Dirty Rotten Scoundrels opened! We had a great opening night, and it was fun to have my parents there! I think its one of the first opening nights they've ever been to! So yay for them!

Then Friday and Saturday nights the lovely BYU MDT majors and I performed a FABULOUS showcase! It was so much fun! And we Rocked! I had solos in the opener (Don't Stop Believin') and the closer (Love Heals). I also was featured in a song called "I Will be Me" with the lovely and talented Bronwyn and Megan, was Bert in "Step In Time", and was one of six singers in "Glimpse of the Weave". Overall, the 2010 MDT showcase was a success!!!

Now onto a not so restful day of rest. :)

Clumsy

So, honestly, I can be the most CLUMSY person sometimes....So we're in rehearsal for Dancers' Company yesterday and I was going off stage, and ran into the light tree. Mind you, the light tree is a metal post about 9 feet tall, and it has at least 5 stage lights attached to it...so it probably weighs a total of about 50 lbs.

Now that we've set that up, lets just say i ran into the light tree with my face and moved the light tree about 8 inches out of place. OUCH! So I have a nice goose egg on my forehead. It hurts.

Besides that, I've just been getting ready for the MDT SHOWCASE! Make sure to come see it! Its this Friday and Saturday night at 7 and 9 pm. Also, DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS opens today. :) Wish us luck!

And mom and dad are in town and are taking me to lunch!!

First Preview!!

Tonight was my first preview as Andre with an audience for Dirty Rotten Scoundrels! It went really really well! I'm so happy to be in this show. Its a blast really. :)

Make sure to see it before it closes! You won't regret it!

A New Week

I must say, I love sleeping in. I spent most of the day yesterday just resting...which was much needed and today (though I probably shouldn't have) I slept in. Sleep is very valuable! Especially before a crazy week!

A few things happening this week. First of all, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels opens at the Hale Center Theater! Here's go here to buy tickets! The cast is wonderful and I love working with them. I perform Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday.


Second, this week is the MDT showcase! Its going to be great. I have a few solos, so check it out! That is Friday and Saturday night 7 and 9 pm in the Madsen Recital Hall. You can get tickets at the HFAC box office or online here!!

Plus I have my final scene to present for my advanced acting class...needless to say...I am going to die by the end of the week. So come see me in those things! It may be your last chance to see me alive!!!

Here We Go Again

Well, it's been a while since I posted. I have decided that I really do need to keep up on my blog. Its good for me to just kinda review things from the day, its a form of a journal for me, and a place where I can just write what I feel.

So here's a little catch up time.

First of all, Children of Eden was fabulous! We had a great run, and I really feel like I grew a lot during that process. I also went on a tour with the Dancers' Company for ten days in October to Wyoming and Montana. We saw a lot of miracles and had a great time! Last semester KICKED MY BUTT! But I came out of it alive and learning the lesson to NEVER take 18.5 credits ever again.

This semester has been eventful so far as well. The Dancers' Company performed our Dance in Concert the last weekend of January in the DeJong Concert Hall. It was SO great and got a wonderful response. I was cast in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at the Hale Center Theater in Orem as Andre, and we open this week! I also attended the YA Alumni weekend and had a great time. Besides that, I've just been doing the school thing. My semester load is much easier, and I'm very grateful for that.

Coming up this week as well is the MDT showcase on Friday and Saturday! Come see it!

Besides that, my life has gone through a lot of changes, some for the worse, some for the better. Mostly for the better. Trials come and trials go, but I have just come to realize what is really important for me in my life. And that is what I'm striving to achieve.

Well, here we go again folks! I hope I can keep up with this thing as much as possible.


REMEMBER! LOVE LIFE AND SIEZE THE MOMENT!!!!
