Coming Soon

Brigadoon!

I received my dialogue book in the mail this past week and I am getting excited for my summer show at Music by the Lake.  I can't wait to read the script and dig into all the details of Jean and Brigadoon.

I also love that we received old school dialogue books.  If you've never seen them, they contain true sides of your part with lead in lines only.  And the stage directions are written in first person.  Very cool.

Park District Benefit

Come see me sing for Charity at the Palos Park Recreation Benefit this Sunday.  I'll be singing selections from Phantom of the Opera with the Phantom himself, Edward MacLennon.  Hope to see you there.

"It's over now, the music of the night..."

Phantom closed to a fabulous, standing ovation crowd on Saturday, May 14th.  Hopefully, it won't be my last "Masquerade."  This is one show I would love to do again!  I'll miss those pretty tutus.

Improv & Star Wars Love

I love Star Wars!  And I love theatre.  So what happens when the two are put together?  Love.  Check out this awesome Improv Everywhere video and then click on over to their blog here to see some fun outtakes.  A very appropriate way to celebrate Star Wars Day.

Phantom of the Opera Inspiration

Some character inspiration for my role in the upcoming Phantom of the Opera....

Corps de Ballet - a permanent part of the ballet company, often working as the backdrop to the principal dancers, working as one in synchronized movements.  Think all those gorgeous swans in Swan Lake.  And the photo above from Martha Stewart, that I just love totally and screams corps de ballet to me.

And of course, The Joffrey shows off a perfectly tied pointe shoe in an ad for their upcoming Spring Gala in the CS Men's Book...something I'm aspiring to at every rehearsal.
