Give My Regards to (Forbidden) Broadway!

This has been one CRAZY (yet fun!) last week! It all began last Saturday I guess. We started our "tech week" (ha! That's a joke) of Forbidden Broadway... which means we sang the most vocally strenuous show I have ever done once a day for 8 days in a row! I am vocally shot!
The reason "tech week" is a joke, is because the theater we did the show at was a joke. They promised us all of these things when we decided to do the show there (like being able to rehearse their previous to the show opening...) and we got NOTHING! They were too worried about losing revenue of movies they could show in that theater to let us have a real tech. Not only did we not get to rehearse in there before the show, they didn't even want to let us in until 15 minutes before the house opened (never mind setting up the lights, keyboard, and doing mic-checks... who does that kind of stuff anyhow?) Luckily, Megan laid down the smack and we got in early enough for all of that. If anyone who does theater in Dubuque is considering using Mindframe as a performance space... DO NOT DO IT! Other than the theater being mildly ridiculous, the show was FANTASTIC! I got to work with four of the most talented people I have ever worked with (Terry, Megan, Jake, and Luke) and I got to do one of the most fun shows ever! If anyone is not familiar with Forbidden Broadway... get familiar with it! It's hillarious. I also got the chance to give and hear imput on new productions Main Street Players may do. Now we are making plans for The Pirates of Penzance!
It has been a great week as far as theater is concerned! We opened FB, got contracted to take the show on the road to Illinois, and made plans for Pirates. Sandra also took it upon herself to play "Molli's agent" and talk me up to the Timberlake playhouse where I am auditioning for their 2010 summerstock season. We also are picking out my audition songs for my summerstock auditions and preparing for those (SO EXCITING!) I also found out Dbq Art Theater is doing "The Last 5 Years," which I really want to audition for. It is going to be a VERY busy next year! Theaters in and around Dubuque: PLEASE stop doing shows that I really want to do, I'm running out of free time!
I'm also getting ready to start on the marketing committee at the Grand! I'm really excited for that, seeing as it is what my major is in and it will be great experience! YAY! Exciting times in Dubuque!
