After a Tuesday audition (and having been asked to sing both Meg pieces-- in ADDITION to female reporter Gloria Thorpe's (the third female lead's) show stopping number), as well as a vigorous dance call-back/double role call-backs for BOTH Meg and Gloria (who knew?! Cause *I* SURE AS HELL DIDN'T), casting was officially posted in all it's finality [or so we thought] yesterday break...

Name                             Number                    Part
Angela Griswold              25           Gloria Thorpe



~ As stated within our first table reads character description: "A probing, independent, and flirtatious sportswriter that covers the Washington Senators for the local newspaper."

I'm bold.
I'm curious (or, as some would more boldly put it: obnoxious).
I'm saucy and quick-witted.
I tool around with THE DEVIL.
I'm an insanely intense dancer.
And almost everybody hates me.

I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER.
xDD <3

My. God.

Tonight was so, SO incredibly amazing. I ca-- I can't even begin to describe how much of an ecstatic whirlwind this singular production was! The only coherent thoughts I can manage are: Hsdjvbhksdvbkdhsvbdhkvbhdbv...!!! In short: WE BROUGHT THE (full) HOUSE DOWN. Did I mention we sold out?!

Oh.

Well-- we did, haha ;P

I'm just... truly, I'm left in awe. Every single person within this cast is so beautifully and GLORIOUSLY talented; they had the highest of energy, the best of spirits, despite the fact that our Cat was feeling somewhat sick before hand. But, however: at least I didn't slip in the snow this time!!! (Haha, it's a looooong story, soon to come XD)

ACK. It. Was. Beautious. I... In all honesty, I couldn't feel as blessed as I do now to work with both such an open and gifted creative team/cast. Unfortunately, however-- my camera battery died, and photos will have to be posted tomorrow night. UGH. Honestly? They review the show within themselves, haha :) God... I can barely even contain my st-stoked... ness right now, lolol. I pray you'll wish us luck in our next four, loves! Peace. Around the world. For generations ;D

My DVD of Lea and Jon's final night just arrived this morning.



GAAAAAHHHHH!!!
*explodes, re-pieces, then dashes off to watch!* :D




EDIT: (Just finished watching) Oh my God. Dear sweet Lord... O--oh my God. I can't-- *tries to compose* I can't... I can't even begin to describe th-- Just... I feel so blessed just to have watched the DVD, I mean-- Hliufvhuifgvuvgfygyvgfhvbhfbvilhfbvhl. AGAIN! I mean... God, ya' know: I am SUCH a woobie. I completely and utterly lost it at Martha's confession - and from then on... I just couldn't stop. At ALL. *sniffles... SOBS* If I can bare to manage an actual, coherent review tomorrow morning, I promise you all the deets on production and performance - though, may it be stated, that it was nothing short of AMAZING!

G'night, all. :)

"... It beats the crap out of you and hurts like hell, but you stick with it because you love it and you know it loves you."

Well then... Seussical must love me one HELL of a lot. I just got back from a 4. Hour. Rehearsal. Yes, ladies and gentlemen - that's right! 4 HOURS. Not that it wasn't a blast-- I'm just soooo hackin' exhausted! The entire period we were both learning/running our final number ("Green Eggs and Ham"), complete with music and swing dancing. Do you have any idea how HARD it is to mash potato?!?! Well. It is. Lol, still-- I had a great time! I just can't feel my legs is all... *dies*

PS: Starting my first RP(s) with kassiehp0593!WOOT, WOOT!!! X3 <33 Honestly, if you haven't read any of her stuff, check her out on sa_fans/sa_slash. I know, I'm spamming-- but she's amazing, lol!)

( Any Moar Suggestions Perhaps??? )

Ugh.... today... was pretty much suckish. Worse than suckish - it. Was. Fucking. Awful.

1. Choir Audition: I... I dunno', I sort of d-don't really wanna'... get into it. Let's just say - it was quite obvious I was sick. (I continuously had to stop and cough between warm-ups, I had NO proper control over my breathing whatsoever... though my head voice was a tad ok) I'm hoping to speak to Mr. Hedgecock about it tomorrow and, if I can't manage to get a second chance, I'm hoping he'll at least understand my current situation and take into part my previous performances in both the class and concert... again - wish me luck. :[

2. Geometry: Lots, and LOTS of make-up work, a power-point project-- just... BARF.

3. Comedy/Improv was canceled. AGAIN. Ugh...

Unfortunately, said events caused major frustration, and said frustration caused a lil' bit of a breakdown. I know it seems silly of me to be so upset by such a simple audition (considering I wish to enter a business where rejection is a HUGE part of the reality), but... this is something I want to do for the rest of my life, and being a part of Vocal Ensemble would only both further and better my training! It's just... I don't know. It's hard at times, however much I try and convince myself that - truly - it isn't. But... I do feel a hell of a lot better after venting to both my friends and family, and I pray to every God in folklore that Mr. Hedgecock will take SOME sort of pity on me.

Though - lunch was hysterical, as always! XD

ALYSSA: (talking about her recent Spring Break in Ireland) We had all kinds of Irish animal friends that we named. We saw a reindeer and named him Pumpkin. We found a cat, took him in and named him Starbreeze. Snowflake - the baby cow, Marshmellow - the baby bird--
KAYLEIGH: Why wouldn't you name a sheep Marshmellow?
ALYSSA: Because the sheep's name was Skippy!!

***

ME: Marisa, may I please have a tater tot?
MARISA: (gesturing towards her tray) Sure.
ME: Well, I'm sick so... could you please pick one out for me and drop it in my hand?
MARISA: (doing so)
ME: (Popping it into my mouth and smiling) OWM (- weird food eating noise) - Thank you!
(Suddenly, Kayleigh and Laur burst out laughing)
MARISA: (raising an eyebrow) Umm... are you guys ok?
KAYLEIGH: We're laughing because Angela is funny.
ME: (grins through tater tot, causing the two to laugh even harder)

Hells to the yeah for funnies! Lol. (PS: Dinner was purdy good: sandwich wraps and home-made, low salt french fries. Can you say "yum"?! I can say "yum". YUM)

*Sigh* Well... again - if you could wish me your kindest words for a second hope, I'd really appreciate it. Thank you all so much for taking the time to listen. I pray tomorrow is a better day...

Opening night was.............. okay.

It could have been better. Much, MUCH better. Though, I must give a hand to each and every single one of us who performed... to the best of our ability tonight! Orchestra however? Not so much. They were more than just sloppy tonight - it was awful! People were constantly missing their cues because of drawn out or missed measures, and our conductor did NOT know when to cut us off!!

Ah, well... I do deeply respect them, having to sit/play so long in the pit like that, and hopefully tomorrow and next week will be much better - we were all just shaking out our opening night jitters anyhow! And, what with it being Good Friday and all, we only had an audience of about 60, so - perhaps with larger, better responses from a crowd - we'll up our own energy and bring out an even greater production!!

..... And no tables will fall over.

Ugh... I'm exhausted. If I get the chance tomorrow, I'll go into some deeper details of tonight and our matinee/night performances. But for now? It's just me, a bowl of Chocolate Malted Crunch ice cream, my comforter, and a George Lopez marathon! Lol.
