city of angels 4

Obviously I've been too busy to post lately, but we have the third and final edition of "Call-Back" online now, so I thought I'd share it:



I did manage to get some things done at home last weekend, however. The last of the Christmas decorations are put away. I tore up and threw out the mountain of boxes and packing foam that came with the "magic table" (lift-top coffee table I bought), along with a couple other empty boxes I had stacked near the door and easily could have disposed of weeks ago. Took out the recycling, did three loads of laundry, cleaned the entire apartment for the first time in well over a month. And that's all thanks to taking last Friday off work. :) I actually got a full night's sleep three days in a row. I can't say the same for this week.

So yeah, the show opens this Friday night, and it's going to be good. At this point we're just tweaking and polishing. I'm very glad I agreed to do this show since, as I said before, not many theaters attempt it, and I have friends in the cast (and have made new ones, as usual). I'm a stronger singer than actor, so I was more engaged with the challenge of learning the City of Angels music than I was with learning how to act with Company last year.

I still plan to stick to my summer hiatus, but I hope to get back into the orchestra pit and possibly music direct for a while. Part of my wanting to be on stage was to get some experience from both sides of the piano, and see how other music directors work. I've done that, so I'd like to get back to the keyboard again soon.
