And so my journey begins with New Line Theatre. And I couldn't be more excited! I've seen a few shows at New Line: HAIR, Forbidden Planet, and Spelling Bee. All of which I wanted to hop onstage and be a part of it all! Seriously, what fantastic performers. Which is why I can't wait to start working with all you strangers whom I've admired from my general admission seat for quite some time now. I've not been this anxious in a long, long time.
The essential facts: I'm not incredibly familiar with EVITA. In fact, if I may be so bold to admit, I've never seen it onstage. I've only seen the movie starring Madonna. In which, I wasn't blown away. In fact, I was sort of lost in a blend of what-the-hell-is-going-on-in-this-story and what colored M&M I just put in my mouth. Seriously, that movie was no good for my lack of focus on a Saturday night at 12:30. So if I didn't fall in love with the show, why did I want to be in the show you ask? Because I loved the music. And if nothing else will move a person, music will. And I really like what New Line adds to productions. Frankly, I wanted to see what kind of twists and turns would take place. And stage productions are always so different than the movies...hello! Grease?!
Anyhoo. My smile is still from ear to ear. I'm very excited to meet all of you and get to work! I'm rather anxiety-ridden, however, that I won't be able to experience our first rehearsal together. I'll be able to pick it up no problemo. I just freaking hate missing out on things. Seriously, I have never called in sick to work in my life (yet), and the only time I've ever missed school from being ill was when my doctor called my school and told them himself not to let me attend. Damnit. I never want to miss out on any kind of fun, or information. But I'll be in New York, which will be a first time experience for me. So, I'll be missing out on all the fun at New Line, but I won't be missing out on anything happening in NYC! Haha, my glass is always half full.
I'm not really sure what to talk about...I don't know any of you yet. So I can't talk about our relationships. And I haven't ever done EVITA, so I can't really say much about that either. Maybe I should tell you a bit about me, the newb to New Line.
Other than loving theatre, pasta, music from the 1920's, and strawberry milk there's not a whole lot to know about me. Well...that's a lie. There's alot to know about me, but nothing very important. I love travelling! I haven't done too much of it in my 21 years, but I can't get enough of new places and new things. I want to walk everywhere even if it's 13 miles. And I'm not kidding. I hate taxis and trains and busses. I wanna walk and absorb absolutely everything. Of my travels, I love any beach the best. I love the ocean; the tide can wash away anything you'd like to be rid of. Next, I love Chicago. There's just something about that place.
Oh, I'm also a science-freak. It's really the subject I've always been most drawn to next to drama. But, I guess I like it so much because it is life, literally. And understanding how our bodies work with food, chemicals, and the environment is incredible to me. Life is all about processes; cause and effect. Really, it's fascinating to me. Especially the environment! I'm the one who will harass you all day long about recycling and preserving water, cutting back on plastic bags, etc.
Most people have only one real passion in their lives. But I've found that I have several, and my parents tell me all the time how fortunate I am because of that. If one thing falls through in my life, I'll always have something else I'm crazy about to chase after. First comes theatre, then the environment, then biology, then pyschology. And I can always keep travelling and find out things about the world I'd never imagined before.
And if you were wondering, I was a cat in my past-life. Several times in a row, I do believe. I'm awfully curious, but incredibly self-sufficient, and almost too private sometimes. I'm perfect to cuddle with though! haha
Maybe I should have told you all about my theatre experience...but really I can write about that all day long. That's something you should see and consider yourself, though. I am a firm believer that actions will always overrule words. I can't wait to see what New Line has to offer me. I love a good challenge. And I freaking love singing and acting and dancing (most of which I normally do while driving). I can't believe how much I just confessed in this blog. Hmmm...alright, blogger.com, you weren't quite as tastey as chocolate, but just as enticing. So, there you have it. A little piece of me and a big piece of excitement! I look forward to getting to know all of you fellow actors. :]]]
