Update!

Ok, I know that most of my previous posts are titled the same thing-update. But this blog is kinda about my life, so I feel that basically I am updating you on what's happening in my life currently...anyway, last Sunday was our closing of Godspell. There were many tears, and by what people have been saying on Facebook, many after that day. I can confirm that that happened to me. We had created this great community of friends, and it was so hard to go from seeing each other every day like school to, well, not. I live in a different part of the city than where most of the cast does, and where the place I did the intensive is, so it's not like I can just wake up, walk a couple blocks, and be reunited with some people from the intensive.
Also, as soon as the intensive ended, I realized school will start in only a couple weeks, unfortunately. While most people spent their time at the beach or pool, going shopping or going to amusement parks, or on vacation, I spent it in an air conditioned theater, learning songs, memorizing lines, practicing dance steps, and finally, performing. But honestly? I didn't want to spend my summer how most did. I wanted to spend my summer just as it played out. And even though at the end of it all there were sad times, it was completely worth every second of it. It was an amazing experience, and I hope to have many similar to it.

I hope you enjoyed my sappy post- I'll post more soon because...back to school is happening soon. But hey, more to post on! I think I might do some sort of "What's in my dance bag" post.
I'll be posting soon!

Opening Night!

Hi everyone! It's been a while, I know, but honestly, I don't have a ton to post on. But today I do! As the title says above, tonight is the opening night of Godspell! I'm already getting butterflies thinking about it, because we're completely sold out! Last night we had a preview, with a sort of half audience...okay, let me explain: the theater has three sides, so, in a way, three audiences. There's a big center section, and then two smaller sides, which are probably half-ish as big as the center. Anyway, the preview audience was pretty much full in the middle, one side audience had the front row filled, and the other one had one person in the second row...that means tonight is going to be so different.
Well, I should go...wish me luck!

Another Update...

Hello everyone! Time has flown by so fast, it's been a week since my last post! Oh, and happy August! I know that some people in different states start school this week or the 15th, or something like that, but I start back September 5th, so I still have a month of summer left :)
Godspell has been going amazing! I saw the level younger than me in their production of School House Rock Live, Jr., and they were very cute! I think it would be more interesting if there was more acting. It was mostly songs, and lasted for only about 40 minutes (Godspell's first act is somewhere around 50 minutes, and the second act is about 20ish).
Oh, I have something dance related to post about, too! I killed my second pair of pointe shoes! YAY!!! I feel so accomplished. So sometime soon my mom and I are going to go to a dance store, where I really want to try on Freeds... There's no rush because next week my intensive starts going an hour later, and then that Friday we start tech (adding in all the lights, and everything) which we do the following Monday, too, and that's 3 hours later than when we usually end. ANYWAY, the reason it's not going to be a rush is because I won't be able to make my dance classes that week, or for the next because our performances start on Wednesday the 15th.

Well, that's about it for now! I hope you all enjoyed, and thanks for reading!
