Sorry this is late

I've been meaning to post this for a while but I've been extremely busy. Since I've last updated anyone, through blog or word of mouth, I've taken on a few more tasks. On top of Golden Butterfly with EVCT, I just finished Romeo, You Idiot, a one act play that ran for one day (I know lame) at school. I got to play a vampire version of Count Paris. I got to wear a cape which was majorly funny, or so I heard, I didn't really get to see it. I'm sorry I didn't tell everyone earlier like I said busy.
In addition to that I auditioned and got into Arsenic and Old Lace. I wish I could say I'm proud of that but I'm not really looking forward to it. We rehears for 12 weeks and get three shows. Doing EVCT we rehears for a month, maybe a month and a half, and perform for three weekends. On top of that I have to cut my hair for the role. I'm a minor role, a police officer who shows up at the end of the last act to just sort of finish things off. The lead is, of course, one of the favorites. I've also decided not to do school theatre again. I'm going to go to EVIT to study automotive technology, so please come to see me in my debut and final school play. I don't know when it opens but I should be freed up soon so don't worry I'll tell you when it opens.
But this is what I really wanted to talk to you all about: The Golden Butterfly. I'm uber excited for this show! My costume and several others are fantastic, the casting is (for the most part) astonishing, the story is good for kids and will please parents, the script is...better than Narnia, and (best of all) Sean and I are both in it and Stacie is working sound, so when you come to see it you're supporting all of us! It opens Feb. 5 (yeah thats this Thursday) and we will have shows every weekend until Feb. 22. I know this is such horribly late notice I appologize I've been swamped. It's still at the Mesa Arts Center and you have three weeks to make it, if you can't, there is still Arsenic and Old Lace and, knock on wood, The Little Mermaid this summer.
