Hello!

So last week was spring break (even though it snowed for part of it). It was annoying that it snowed because I am eager for spring weather, but it was nice to have the chance to relax. I saw “Company” while I was home, saw some friends, did homework, and slept A LOT. Now I’m fresh and ready for action!

And what a better way to start the second half of the second semester with a 10 dollar concert to see Audra McDonald and Barbara Cook at the Kimmel Center last night!!!!! It was an amazing concert and we waited out in the cold for a REALLY long time to meet both of them, who were both insanely nice and gracious. It was just me and a bunch of other UArts theater kids so we got to talk to them for a bit! Definitely worth the fact that I couldn’t feel my hands or my face afterwards. I am a naturally very pale person, but this picture reflects more how cold it was, not how pale I am haha.

  

I really have met a lot of “famous” people this school year…..LaChanze, Christine Ebersole, Jonathan Groff, Kristin Chenoweth, Marissa as Annie, and now Audra and Barbara Cook…..hopefully a sign of good things to come??? haha

I also came back to find out that I’m in some New Play Development workshop for the second half of this semester….not quite sure what that means, but I’m sure it should be fun and interesting. A few of my other good friends are in it as well.

This week is a little bit of a funky week because we have conferences for our acting studios. It’s basically just 10 minutes of our acting teacher talking to us and telling us how we are doing so far and everything. It’s low-pressure, but I’m still a little nervous for mine, which is on Thursday. I do feel I am improving, so that’s always the important thing.

But yes, things are of course crazy with fall semester auditions coming up, summer auditions, and lots of other goodies the rest of this semester.

Yup, not much else going on here…..gotta go practice….juries will be here before I know it!
