Ok....Sleeping beauty is all over now. Its sad to see shows come to an end, but it is an immensely rewarding experience! Knowing you have gone out there and done your best every night!!! I'm contemplating the meaning of life.....lol yeah I know, but thats me. Dont think I'm gonna find the answer anytime soon.....but its good 2 analyse. Keeps your brain working! I have a call-back 4 'Bye Bye Birdie' - the part of Doris, so that is interesting! I will do my best! Went out 2 a karaoke bar last night - and yes, I got up there and sang 2 songs. You wouldn't have thought it, but its true. And I dont think I did 2 badly!! TTYL

It feels like years since I have updated this! So much has happened - I'll give u the d/l. I'm in another show - a pantomime of 'Sleeping Beauty', which is going really well. There are some hugely talented ppl involved, its great to see. The shows start on 21st Nov. Plus I am doing term 4 of the acting course I started this year - which involves an end of year play and short film. In the play,  have a huge monologue to learn and some lines. Its looking good though, Sally (my teacher) is hugely talented!!

I am just trying to get out there as much as possible - next step for me looks like 'Bye Bye Birdie' but that is a little way off. We will see what happens. K ttyl.

Hey! The shows are all over now! I have done 9!!! Closing night was so awesome......there were about 240+ in the crowd! Wow! I can't tell u how much of a thrill it is at the end of the show when you come out for the bows and the crowd just applauds you. That feeling is so amazing!! I can see why ppl say theatre is better coz u get that instant review.....you know how u went by the reaction of the audience. In tv land you dont get that.....u just get someone saying 'yeah that was good'. It would be harder to know if you are doing good stuff I think.

Anyway, about the shows. Wow! Having never been part of that whole thing b4 I didn't know what to expect......had I known it was going to be so amazing, I would have started a long time ago. You meet so many ppl that have a love of the same things as you (the arts) which is really good. Rehearsing for 3 months really brings everyone together.....in the end it becomes like a family. You never realise how much work goes into putting a show together until you are part of it. All the backstage stuff, all the props, costumes.....its amazing!!

K that'll do 4 now BYE!!
