Well, the call-back on Wednesday could have done better. I really thought I could pull off the role of El Gallo, but it just wasn’t to be. However, I did get a part in the musical – that of Bellomy, the girl’s father. One of the wonderful lines from one of the songs has to do with pouring jam on a cat. Why would they do that? Because we said no!

Anyway, so yeah – should be fun. And in reality it is a bit of pressure release. Being the lead/narrator in my first musical/play in over 12 years would have no doubt produced nightmares about forgetting my lines and so forth. And I have had enough of those over the years to last a lifetime!

So my nights and weekends are pretty much shot until October. But I can’t wait to get started. We have the first table read on Monday night, so we will get our script books etc etc then. Then I will REALLY know what I’ve gotten myself into.

You’ll notice it has been an eternity since the last entry. This is not to mean there hasn’t been anything going on – rather the opposite, really. Things have been so crazy lately, it is difficult to find the time and site down to blog.

This weekend is the Iowa Games – I will be taking team photos for the Under 10 boys/girls/coed teams as they are presented their medals. It is the first gig for Mid-Iowa Sports, so I hope it does well. There are over 300 teams total, so I don’t quite know what to expect. All I can do is pray for no rain.

In other news, last night I auditioned for a local community production of The Fantasticks – a popular musical that lasted many years in New York and has a loyal following. My audition is not likely to grace the front page of The Wilster, but it was nice to get up and put myself out there again. I received a call-back already for Wednesday so we’ll see what happens.

Until then…
