Narnia is Over

Since January 2011 I've been directing Narnia the Musical. It ended last weekend, and I am sad. My cast performed admirably. It was presented by Upstage Theatre for Youth in Payson, Utah, and my 43 5-18 year olds were superb. It was wonderful, and I miss it already. The cast presented me and Jules, our music director, with signed pillowcases and framed portraits. They were so talented. I didn't realize Payson had such great kids, and I look forward to working with them in the future. For Narnia!

I just got a part as Andy, the drummer, in SCERA's Camp Rock! and am also directing a 1-act play for them in July. Fingers crossed that I get permission from Fox to present my own stage adaptation of Anastasia.

Elizabethtown

My best college friend, Anna, invited me over to watch Elizabethtown tonight. We both love that movie, and have been planning to watch it for almost a year. We did. It was still great, and I realized I'm dissatisfied with my life. I'm far too young for that.

Today I watched my cast perform admirably. I smashed my finger helping someone else do their job and it hurts a lot. I said a bad word to feel better and felt bad later for saying it. I put ice on it and it felt better, and spilled the ice water all over my pants on the way into an audition. I was invited to plan a musical night for the Huntsman Cancer foundation, and got heart-hurt by a girl. and then I watched Elizabethtown with Anna and felt sad and happy and dreamed happy dreams. On May fourth, I lived.
