Hey everyone!
It's been a crazy week and a half since I last updated. Miss me? Probably not. Hope so, though.
Here at VT Theatre we just had auditions for Glass Menagerie - break legs to all those who auditioned! I think it's going to be great (directed by Bob McGrath). Meanwhile, VT's Twelfth Night is currently running, and it such a fantastic show. Come see it! I'll probably be there - I plan on going multiple times.
This year really has been a great year for theatre here at VT. Our shows thus far ('This,' 'Almost, Maine,' and 'Twelfth Night') have all been home runs. I expect that B Cast entertainment's Suburbia will be another hit show (it goes up in December).
Sometimes work can get very exhausting. This is what happens when it does:

Puppies The Size of Soda Cans / MIKE POSNER
Hey all!
So, as promised, here is the link to PUPPIES THE SIZE OF SODA CANS. Get a towel - the cuteness will likely turn your brains to mush.
In other news, Almost, Maine is over, and I feel as though I was extremely privileged to be a part of that fantastic cast. The show that the ensemble built was incredible, and the friendships we solidified will stick around forever. Almost, Maine - I miss you.
As for what I'm doing now - Running around from meeting to meeting like a chicken with its head cut off. Wonderful image, eh? I'll get some downtime soon... after Virginia Theatre Auditions are done at the end of this month. Rest will come then.
TODAY, Mike Posner comes to Virginia Tech.
Here is one of his songs.
Music video by: me.

Almost, Maine
What a weekend.
Today is the opening of Almost, Maine by John Cariani, and I couldn't be more excited. This show is going to be fantastic. Go see it.
We've worked hard for the past 6 weeks and after a long tech weekend, we're ready for you to come see us play onstage. For FREE. So you don't have much of an excuse to not come.
Monday-Saturday, 7:30 pm, Free, T101 Theatre in Downtown Blacksburg, Virginia. Get there a little early to guarantee seating... especially if you come Saturday. Saturday will be packed.
In other news, VIRGINIA TECH BEAT MIAMI 38-35. What a game. It was down to the wire, with Logan Thomas personally rushing in the final touchdown to put us ahead, and then a stellar show by the defense to stop Miami in the last minute. David Wilson had some phenomenal runs as well. Go watch the highlights - you'll be there a while.
In the meantime, here's a story that I think is beautiful. This 29 year old woman was born deaf, and received cochlear implants - and this video is her hearing her own voice for the first time.
Ain't it cool?

Sometimes, You Just Don't Know What She's Talking About (MANSLATOR)
Hey there, everyone!
Well, it's a new month. And the LSAT's are over. And VT had a minor setback with Clemson. But that's ok - there's a whole season ahead.
Almost, Maine is progressing beautifully. This show is going to be absolutely STUNNING. The cast has created a community that has its own inner workings, problems, sorrows, joys, and celebrations. I think you, as the audience, will truly connect with the show. You might even be tempted to come back for more!
As I was leaving the VT/Clemson game on Saturday, I was approached by this glum-looking guy who offered me $6 to give him a ride home. As it turned out, he lived close to me, so I accepted. I asked him why he needed a ride back, and the response I got was "My ride broke up with me during the game today."
So basically, this guy lost his girl and then the Hokies lost. He was having a bad day. On the ride home, the whole story poured out - she was upset because apparently he just didn't understand her, and she felt he wasn't responding to her. It was essentially a breakdown of communication in the relationship. However, he said that she wanted to talk the day after, and they might get back together.
I hope they did.

JEDI KITTENS
Hey there everybody.
What a week. Auditions are all wrapped up, Almost, Maine rehearsals are in full swing, tests are starting to be the death of me, and in-class scenes are popping up everywhere. It's getting busy, but it's also fun. Second home game this weekend - Arkansas St. comes here to VT. GO HOKIES.
My scene partners in Almost, Maine are brilliant - two people I've really wanted to work with. I feel as though the two scenes (Getting It Back and Where It Went) will not disappoint - nor will any part of the show. It's a fantastic ensemble and I feel privileged to be a part of it.
Virginia Tech's production of Melissa James Gibson's This (directed by Susanna Rineheart)opens September 21st in Studio Theatre - make sure you go see it! I heard it's going to be a fantastic show.
Oh, and as promised - here are the Jedi Kittens.

Stuck Inside Your Head
It's been two weeks since my last post.
So here's the update:
Classes started. They all have their ups. A few have their downs (no puns on my last name please). Best ones: Acting Shakespeare and Stage Combat.
Shakespeare's great, because simply put: I get to work with Shakespeare for class. Every Monday/Wednesday. IT'S GREAT. And Stage Combat is a great workout - plus we get to learn how to trick the audience into thinking we're beating the living hell out of each other. Then we get up, brush it off, and go get a smoothie.
Audition week has occurred. Casting for Twelfth Night is posted later today and callbacks for Almost, Maine will be posted at the same time. Congratulations to those cast in Twelfth Night and "break a leg!" to those who have Almost, Maine callbacks to look forward to.
Also, I finished my first Dubstep/Mashup album for public distribution. It's pretty awesome: Titled "Alpha Lamb." It's pretty cheap too.
This is your reward for reading this post about my life:
