Party In The U.S.A.

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:

You Like Skrillex? I like Skrillex.

Fun weekend - VT Hokies beat Marshall 30-10, which was pretty dang awesome. Looking ahead to Clemson this coming week. Go Hokies!

Went to see Moneyball (you know, that baseball movie about the Oakland A's starring Brad Pitt?) I loved it - it was a great movie, to be sure. Best this year? Maybe. Go see it and let me know what you think.

We had our first read-through for subUrbia (Bogosian) yesterday - I'm props. The show is showing incredible potential just from the first read. I think this cast will blow you away - look for a location TBA for the performances in December.

The VT Theatre and Cinema department's production of This is a fantastic show and if you haven't seen it, go do that. NOW. You got about a week left.

But, I have the LSAT's before the Clemson game Saturday... this video expresses my feelings towards it.

Plus Skrillex is awesome

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.

Getting Blown Over

First set of audition weeks for fall semester is over. I'm working on a few productions, and I may be submitting a ten-minute play to direct. But for now, I really need to lock down and focus on what I have - including insane amounts of classwork.

I have a test in Political Communication tomorrow, which I'm not ready for... a scene to perform in stage combat today which I need to rehearse some more... yah, it's time to lock down.

But hey! If you're at VT, make sure you go see "This" in Studio Theatre. It will be one of my only forms of entertainment for the next two weeks.
