As I sit in the box office, yet again, waiting for the Young Actor's Workshop class 1 to end and class 2 to begin, I thought I would update my blog. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of other things to do to while a way a minute, but this sounds the most fun right now.
It has been a crazy couple of weeks. We had the comedian James Gregory, with Keith Alberstadt at our theatre last Saturday for a show, (I would put his caricature on, b
ut , quite frankly, I am sick of it), and this Saturday we have casting director Kelly Tippens teaching workshops for aspiring young actors. At the same time we are mounting Charlotte's Web, and planning a mystery dinner show for the South Carolina Waste and Recycling convention in March. We do stay busy around here.
At the same time I am still in school, though I try not to think about it. I am supposed to write a 5 page essay about Death of a Salesman and Glengarry Glen Ross before Tuesday, and several response papers about plays I've seen, as well as write a grant proposal before Wednesday. I will get them done, but procrastination is a problem with me - thus the blog entry. Maybe if I start writing I will get the juices flowing.
The kids are great. Mckenzie auditioned for the Fine Arts Center in Greenville. If she makes it she will attend a different high school for at least half the day next year, and maybe transfer entirely if it makes more sense transportation wise. I am so proud of how well she is doing with her oboe. She really plays beautifully. Both her and Clint will be doing Region band this next week, and that is always a great opportunity. Their All-County band concert was amazing.
I am also so proud of Austin. He auditioned for NYU, and it sounds like his audition went well. He is so amazingly talented, and I really hope he finds a program that can help him shine. However, he should feel good about the fact that he went and auditioned at all. There are many others who talk about it but never do.

well thank you mom for updating people on my life in your blog.
I'm glad you mentioned me.
And I'm procrastinating too at the moment. At least I can admit it now since you do the same.
I mentioned you. You are doing Region this week. I didn't mention Taylor, however. I will get to you guys next time.
i guess you don't love me enough, since i didn't even make all-county!
Clint said: that's what i meant, I was actually thanking you.
those poor attention starved little guys. Everyone should get top billing ALL THE TIME! dangit. You are one busy lady.
