So it's been almost a month since the end of Music Man... I haven't really done a decent update since then so here we go.
Tech Week was insane but it was well worth it in the end. The show went fabulous. Friday and Saturday night I went to cast parties at Roger Hurd's and the Abis's. Good times. Joey Abis pulled out the dvd of The Wizard of Oz that my sister was in in 2002 and it was fun to watch that. During the afternoon performance on Saturday there was a fire drill in the middle of our show.. that was a little crazy and needless to say a bit unexpected. Sunday the cast party after set strike was sad but on the a happier note I definitley look foward to auditioning for Oaklahoma in 9 months and think that show will be equally as fun to be in. There's always something to look foward too.
April vacation was fun. Monday and Tuesday I just relaxed at home and worked on my Milford Cabinet article about Les Mis ( the show was awesome by the way... I went on Saturday night.. stay tuned to my Theatre Is My Life Blog for a killer review of the five shows I've seen in the past couple weeks..this includes the two shows I am seeing this weekend) Matt came up to stay for a couple days. Wednesday we went to Weare to go watch the Souhegan Softball team play much to our disappointment the game was postponed to the next day to field conditions... since we were halfway to NEC we decided to go to campus and see what was going on and end up watching a baseball game there. Made me kind of kick myself for not seeing a lot of baseball games while I was in school we then went to the movies to see Soul Surfer which was excellent. Thursday we went bowling and out for ice cream with Sonya Penny and Julie. Great times! Friday we went up to the Lakes Region and went hiking at the Loon Trail in Moultonborough which was quite pretty. We then spent the night at The Inn and Spa at Mills Falls in Meredith which is a lovely hotel. We'll mostly likely stay there this summer at some point when we go see a play at Summer Theatre in Meredith Village. Saturday we went to Wellsely to see Sense and Sensibility The Musical at Wellsely College. Very interesting play.. now I must read the novel on which it is based. Over that weekend I found out my Aunt Hilda passed away so on May 2nd and 3rd I had to go to Massachuetts for the services. Wakes are always a bit unsettling for me but I don't mind funerals. The services were very moving. I will miss Auntie Hilda so much. :(
May 6th I went over Julie's for a movie night. That was fun. We watched Over Her Dead Body and The Prince and Me. I can't believe it took me so long to see The Prince and Me... I was definitley missing out on seeing a good movie.. biggest Julia Stiles fan ever! Saturday I went to NEC for the annual movment concert which was awesome. We met with Leanna Pizer and Stacey Harris for dinner and it was great to see them again. I don't get to see Stacey as much as I would like but I'm hoping to get together with her more often. Mother's day was also quite nice. We went down to Everert and had dinner with my grandparents and then went to visit my dad's mom on the way home. Other than that I have mostly been busy with work. Project Search is in the home stretch. Our graduation is June 20th. Crazy how quickly a year has flown by. Speaking of graduations Saturday I went up to Henniker to go NEC's graduation. The ceremony though a bit chilly was lovely and not as long as the graduations in the past have been (mine in 2008 and Cooper and Erin's in 2009) Jeanne Shaheen was the commencement speaker and I thought her speech was very insightful. I am so proud of all my friends who graduted. You guys made it!! Congrats NEC class of 2011!
End update
