...when you're busy making other plans.


So this first semester at Marshall started out hectic beyond belief. I was cast as a lead character in George M! the musical about the life of George M. Cohan. (I played his wife, Ethel Levey). I'd prepared for the show by taking tap classes all summer with professor Gene Anthony who was the director for the show. I'd fallen in love with tapping ever since I was Millie in Thoroughly Modern Millie my senior year of high school. George M! secured that love even more! Anyway, the show is over now... it was amazingly well received... and the guy who played George M! is going to Broadway in the spring-- yeah, wow. Anyway, I learned during the course of hectic rehearsals and performance time that I just can't handle both theatre and a piano performance degree. After a long emotional struggle and many conversations with my professors I changed my major from Piano Performance to Theatre Performance with a minor in music (piano & voice). It basically takes a whole lot of stress off me piano-wise... which is a relief. I look forward to all of my theatre classes next semester.

Aside from that, I've been making money here and there playing piano gigs and I just signed a contract last week for a Talent agency here which I'm ecstatic about. I'll be doing commercials & modeling again! (I haven't done so since I was nine years old). I also will be doing 3 photo shoots in the coming month!!! Everything is coming at me all at once but it's so exciting.

Finally... hard work is starting to pay off. It's such a relief

And last but not least... I'm going to be auditioning for 2 summer musical theatre workshops. (I have to pick one, that is, if I make it, because both are at the same time.) One is at NYU, the other at Manhattan School of Music. Ahh I haven't been to NYC in forever I miss it so. I'd be working with amazing and influential people in musical theatre if I got accepted... so wish me luck! *crosses fingers*
