After not getting cast in any of the roles I auditioned for with Houston G&S, I found myself with a wide-open summer. I initially thought about biking the length of the Danube (from the Black Forest to the Black Sea…kinda has a nice ring, and I *shall* do it sometime), but then had two opportunities. Brady Knapp at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church said he could use me on their summer tour of England, and I agreed to go. Then I heard back from Masquerade Theatre and they offered me the role of Molokov in the musical Chess. I really wanted to do that role, but felt I had already committed to go with Palmer (plus, they were subsidizing the trip quite a bit), so I’ll be headed for England July 22. I’m trying to swing it so I can stay after the tour finishes, so that I can go see Houston G&S perform in Buxton on August 3. Also, would like to see Mitchell and Michelle and my other friends in London.
This weekend I’m gonna try to ride a century…maybe just ride to Beaumont and take the bus back, if I can do it in time to make it down to see Evan Tessier in The Man Who Came to Dinner. Monday, being a holiday, will see another century attempt. Thursday I’m off to DC see Greg and Melissa, then we’re going to Atlantic City (where hopefully Eb and maybe even Bill Oliver will join us).
***THE PARTY WILL BE JUNE 19TH!!! MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW!!!***
Going to Austin July 17 for the LBJ 10 year reunion (assuming they let those of us who blew of finishing our coursework show up).
Maybe another Vegas trip Labor Day Weekend?
