Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye Spelling Bee

Thursday November 6th at 330 in the afternoon the cast of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee gave their arguably best and sadly final performance.  It was a great run of a great show and I was proud to be a part of that experience.  Our run garnered us lots of acclaim from teachers and students alike, plus at one performance a standing ovation (something pretty unheard of at this school).  I'm going to miss being with the cast and crew on a regular basis, but I can hope that we will all stay in contact with one another and get together whenever possible.  The process may have started off rough, but our end product was something to be admired.  I was privileged to work with some of the most talented and determined students in our department on Spelling Bee and I know that in the future I will get to work with you all again.  Your commitment to the piece and energy when on stage was at times awe-inspiring.  It isn't very often that you get to work on a show as good as ours was.  So basically I wanted to say thank you to everyone in the cast and crew.  Your raw talent pushed me to work harder and to be a better actor and for that I will always be grateful.  With each show you learn something new.  I learned a lot on Spelling Bee about myself and others around me.  I hope that you all did too.  So here's to the cast and crew of Spelling Bee.  I miss you guys already.  

P.S. - We kicked these guy's asses.

Absence and Song of the Day: I LOVE YOU

Well I'm pretty sure that anyone who was reading this blog has long since stopped considering I haven't updated in well over a month.  I apologize for the absence.  I got started with school and my schedule went to absolute shit.  I got cast in a production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at my school and ever since have had very little time to myself.  I have a week left of rehearsal and then a short run of the show through November 6th.  Hopefully after that I will have a lot more time on my hands and will be able to update this blog regularly and continue with my various projects for the blog.  So check back in every once in a while, you may be surprised at what you find!  

And now to celebrate the fact that my show will be opening quite soon, here is what I consider to be the best song in the entire show.  Enjoy!
