So last night we watched the movie Connie and Carla, and it is HILARIOUS! If you are a musical theatre fan, you will love this movie. Nia Vardalos + Toni Collette + David Duchovny + drag queens + showtunes = a FABULOUS movie!
So I heard back from Jim Charles and he offered me the job to play second keyboard for Hairspray and to music direct Joseph and A Christmas Carol. It's nice to have a job, but I feel like my schedule is going to be really busy once again and I kind of wanted a break to catch up with old friends and visit at Geneseo. AND I can't go to the MTC show in December because it is the opening weekend of A Christmas Carol. I seriously considered not taking the job because of that fact, but it would be silly. I may not be able to make it out to see the mainstage show either...it really does suck but I guess this is the life of the career path I've chosen, at least at the moment. It's tough because it's not like a normal work schedule and I don't know how I feel about that. I like stability and normality in my life, and while it's definitely exciting,...I don't know I think I just need a break haha.
My note from the universe today basically was to remind me that I am loved, in not so little words. It is a good reminder to have every day, and thinking about it and about what happened today I can see that it is true. I need to keep this in mind as I leave this theatre and move on to the next one. It's going to be weird because it's going to feel like starting all over again, only I feel I won't get as close to as many people since it's only one show for a shorter amount of time. Being at Mac-Haydn really does feel like family (thanks Dee for that, and the delicious dinner :) ) and I think that's why it's so sad to see people leave. And while it's a crazy summer, I feel like it might be hard not to come back next summer. We'll see.
Just about time to go open Bye Bye Birdie. Last show of the summer. Here we go!
