You may call me a theater whore, I just call me a glutton for punishment.

So I have an eventful couple of months ahead of me. Three shows within six weeks of each other and rehearsals for all overlapping, is enough to make me wonder just what the hell I've gotten myself into. I knew that this show season was going to be tough to say no to. For those of you who don't know Stage West, the local community theater that I frequent, announced a slate of show for the 2007-2008 year that was an actors dream. Noises Off, Steel Magnolias, Oliver, A Few Good Men, Veronica's Room, Beckett, Camelot, Death of a Salesman, and Agatha Christie's Murder on the Nile.

Of these show I have already done Noises Off. But the truly interesting time comes now when I have parts in Veronica's Room which runs the first two weekends in February. A week after that closes Beckett opens for a three night run. Then with only a day to recuperate Camelot will open and run for the next three weekends. And to top it all off in the week off between Veronica's Room and Beckett I will be going to audition for Murder on the Nile.

So in the event that I die of exhaustion and never see any of you again just know that I died doing what I love. But seriously if you could please keep me in your prayers. I will need all the help I can get.

Til' we meet again,

Paul

Addendum

I have just recieved word that one of my shows has been rescheduled for sometime in the 2008-2009 season. This makes things much easier, but I must confess I was looking forward to having all three at virtually the same time.

I wish my job would let me do so many at once like that. I'm gonna audition for murder on the nile and I might audition for death of a salesman, I didn't know there was a part for someone my age, and it has to be a small part I'm guessing. :D can't wait to see your shows.

You kicked ass anyway darlin'! And by the way, if I was allowed to, I'd do the same damn thing! There is no greater rush babe, but I don't have to tell you that, you theater whore. And yes, chicks do dig actors. :)
