Here Comes the Shrew

I'm Katharina,

Extremely nervous and somewhat psyched out of my mind.

Doubts are everywhere.

whoa.

Pacing the boards

I'm out of minutes on my cell and my phone card went kaput, so this is it.

I don't know yet what the cast is, here's the rundown of what happened.

I was put in a scene where I played a servant and I did ok, not too well though I kind of rushed my lines. Then they put me in the Katharina/Petruchio scene with Dennis (my mentor)and we made it physical and it went really well. After that I did a Katharina/Bianca scene with Daina, a sophomore who lives across the hall. She was amazing and I felt really inferior and really bad about my performance. I did the Katharina/Petruchio scene again, this time with another freshman who basically upstaged both of us the whole time and freaked me out. Katharina became a scared puppy in that scene. They told me to underplay the physical bit anyways. After that I played another Katharina/Petruchio, this time with Pat who's a sophomore. It was a kissing scene, the one at the end...AWKWARD! I had no idea if I was going to kiss him on the cheek or not, so it became a corner. Ergh.

Yesterday they had more callbacks and last night Dennis told me he was called back for today so we aren't going to know for awhile. What scares me is they've only had me read Katharina so if I didn't nail it, they haven't seen me do anything else. I'm freaked out and stressed right now about it. It feels familiar.

I'm going to put more minutes on my phone sometime today, and here's a picture of my hair, last weekend. It's faded a bit and more back to normal, there's still some red though.


Tomorrow night, Jofus is taking a bunch of us up to the punchbowls and we're sleeping out, fun fun fun! Can't wait. I love you all, thanks for the thoughts and prayers!

Break a leg?

I was called back for my audition for "the taming of the shrew" today and after 4 hours of grueling scene work, I'm spending this evening at a bonfire that jofus is building down at the 3rd pond! Everyone's prayers were greatly appreciated, thank you so much for your kind thoughts!

Pictures...again....and some news?

Ok, more pictures here we go:

Jofus and Lauren, Jofus' hair is much shorter now but I can't sneak up on him with a camera anymore, becuase he knows me too well. Its really nice that he's here, he's like my brother!



This is Danniel, it's really dark here so you can't see very well, but she keeps me strong in my faith and when I get turned around about what I actually believe in, she's there to straighten me out. She's in my section and seminar and my dorm, so we've gotten quite close.



This is Deneys, he's really great to talk to about life in general, keeping things in perspective, plus he's funny!



Lauren with Billy, this picture isn't posed at all! (j/k) Billy went to William and Mary for a year before coming out here, he's in my section, he likes musicals and he's wicked smart!



So those are the pictures for now, I spent this weekend in San Fransisco at the Bluegrass Festival. The great thing about it was that I got to know alot of people from school that I otherwise wouldn't have. It was alot like Manitou, lotta weed, lotta hippies, kind of like coming home.
I have Don Rags on Thursday the 19th, 1:30 my time, prayers are greatly appreciated!
