Ok...is it some kind of middle age crisis? or...maybe I AM just crazy! We went to a dinner theatre the other night for my daughter Julie's birthday. It was so much fun, I thought..."hey, I'd like to try that!" I found out they were having try-outs Sunday and Monday for the "The Sound of Music!" Yep, you guessed it!!! Yesterday, this went on all day,
Frank: you know you want to...
Me: It's nuts! I can't
Frank: But, you know you want to
Me: No, really, that's insane!
Frank: So, what time are you going?
Me: Try-outs are at 7, so guess I should leave around 6
I've written, directed and produced about 5 or 6 of my own plays. Acted in them too...although that's really not fair, since I wrote my own part.:) All for churches. However, I've never seen the whole process from this end. So, I'm thinking it will help to have this experience...yeah, that's it...ri-i-ight....it's training for my playwriting. :):)
You know, I really did have this secret passion to be in "drama" in high school, even when I was hooking, etc,.etc., Actually, now that I think about it, it seemed crazy then too...
Anyway, I got the "call-back" this morning, so I could possibly be a "Singing Nun" in the Sound of Music :) It's off to try-outs again!
Also, I'll be doing a concert this Saturday night, so keep me in your prayers! Wow! considering my last few posts...ain't it amazing? the difference a few years can make?

Oh Melanie - I'm so excited for you. I LOVE The Sound of Music! It is my favorite musical. If you get to do Julie Andrews - I may have to come see that! You would be perfect! Keep me posted!

You go and sing if you can, that is a gift given to you by "you know who!!"

Hey, JoJo,
I think if it had been any other play...I wouldn't have even thought of it. But, I'll let you know what happens!
Oh, and I talked to Wayne this morning. He thought this was so hilarious that I would do this! (Hey, maybe Dr. Brill was right!) Anyway...he says there's an opening at our local hospital...for a brain surgeon...he's sure I'd catch on...thinks I should apply!
hahahaha
Hey Jeremy,
Thanks for the encouragement! We'll see what happens after tonight. I think it gets harder...
anyway,
so long, farewell..avidasein (sp?) lol
Ok - this is ridiculous - ever since I read this post yesterday, I've been humming "The Sound of Music"!!! Told you I love that movie! lol
When I was in high school I sang "My Favorite Things" for a choral competition.
Anxious to hear more from you about your practices and what part you got.
Have you heard anything yet? Inquiring minds want to know. (ok that was dorky) :)
