~ And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love that you make ~
There’s a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it’s filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long…
some things you never forget
I’m in a kind of thinking mood, also working my Productions audition monologues, and for some reason it stopped me dead in my tracks and I questioned myself “do I really want to make a living out of this?”
To be honest, I sorta doubted myself for a quick instance. So I thought about it, I looked at myself preparing for some other kind of job/profession, and I really couldn’t see myself doing anything else.
I mean sure, I love video editing, but I don’t have the passion for it. The only thing I truly feel like I have an absolute passion for, is theatre. I know how cliche this will sound, but I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else. It takes people forever to find their certain niches, and I’m so glad I found mine 4 years ago. I couldn’t see myself in band right now, even though I played the alto saxophone for five years, in honor band, I really couldn’t see myself anywhere else but in theatre, may it be on stage or back stage.
I guess you could say I’m obsessed with it. I’ll admit to it, I am. It’s the one thing I think about everyday. “Maybe I should look up that play, that monologue, that character, etc.”, “What if we did this play next year, or I got to direct a play, what play would I pick?”, “I wonder what exercises we’ll be learning in class this week, what improv techniques and styles will we learn next?” are among the various thoughts that run through my mind all day.
Well this turned into a bigger post than expected. But. Point is, I really couldn’t be happier or see myself doing anything else but theatre. I may not be the best actor in the world, but it’s certainly something I’m 100% passionate about, and something I’d be willing to perfect for years to come.
:( ugh. Like whenever will I get a chance to do this wonderful show? It’s not often performed, it’s still kinda rather unknown. It’s not that small of a cast, it can easily be done with a huge cast.
Meh :/ hopefully next year we’ll end up doing Urinetown or something like that.

When I was in Grease back in August 2009, my second show, I was Danny and it was the fight scene at the end of Act one.

IF YOU WERE ON BROADWAY RIGHT NOW, WHAT SHOW WOULD YOU WANT TO BE IN AND WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU PLAY?
In Chicago as Amos :)
There is seriously no other I show I really wanna direct other than The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds. It’s so god damn beautiful, yet so heart wrenching at the same time.
When I saw it at 9-10 one act festival this year, I absolutely fell in love with the script, story, characters, everything. The girl who played Tillie, perfectly captured the insecurities of the character. AHH. It broke my heart. and even how she still felt that everyone in the world is still valuable after all that had happened with her and her mother. Beautiful.
I really, really, REALLY hope we do senior directed shows next year. I’d really love to get a chance to not only direct a show, but direct this show.
