Lissa and I auditioned with a local community theatre group here in Cincinnati about two weeks ago. They had a VERY small turnout for the auditions. We got to read opposite eachother and had TONS of fun. (the most fun audition ever, I think.) The two directors we read for seem like very cool guys, both a bit older, with some experience in the Cincinnati scene.

I was cast for both shows; Lissa was cast in one of the two. The first show, that we are both in, is by one of my favorite playwrites. It goes up in Nov. The second show is a silly play full up of murder plots and family fun. (lots of kissing, but none by me. *whew*) It goes up in Feb. This means I will have done TWO shows before my birthday. Somehow this is very important. I knew 30 was going to be a very good year.

So, I have a fall show and a winter show. I may hold off on auditioning for a spring show until it gets closer to spring. There are a few other companies I’m looking at that have interesting seasons lined up. I’ll have two shows on my resume by then. That must carry some sort of street cred, right?

I know I haven’t given you dates and times for performances yet. I’m not sure why. It took me a week to actually make this post about the successful audition. I think I may still be in shock. I promise I will give you all of the details when I’m good and ready. (Have I mentioned it’s been eleven years since I last took the stage?)

p.s. This will be Lissa’s FIRST show ever! Please honor her request, and wait until at least the second performance before showering her with roses. :) LOVE YOU LOU!
