The Rambling Lion

Whatever I have to say. I don't promise that it will make sense. Just smile and nod. The lion thing is from middle school... let's pretend I'm clever.

My First NYC Lighting Design Credit!

BIRDY & THE GOLDEN PUTTER, a new musical by Nick Colt and Jed Zion.
Directed by Daniel G. O'Brien. Choreography by Julie Shavers.
Music by the Burlesque Troubadors

Send up the American culture wars with us in a new musical about the
power struggle between a bible-themed minigolf course and a evil wax
musuem! BIRDY & THE GOLDEN PUTTER illuminates the unquenchable
American need for entertainment, how else? ...through song and dance!
The rock-funk-americana score pays homage to rock musicals of the 70's
as well as traditional musical theater. The all star cast bring to
life the weird wild world of small town side show entertainment.
Combining elements of live music, song, dance, video, and puppetery,
BIRDY & THE GOLDEN PUTTER promises to entertain, educate, and perhaps
steal your very soul...

Fantastick!

Last night I saw the Fantasticks, the first play that I have seen on Broadway. (Actually, I believe it counts as "Off-Broadway" because of the size of the theatre... but it's address is right at 50th & Broadway.) I was able to afford a ticket because of the Theatre Development Fund (which is now my new favorite thing), and I now plan on seeing as much theatre as possible while I am in this city.
Man, do I miss theatre!!!! I definitely know that I want to work in theatre as a career. There is nothing else that brings out such butterflies, such sparks, such inspiration as theatre does in my life.
Hence, I am applying for an internship at a theatre in Seattle. I don't know if I'll get a position, but I'm hoping! If that is not in the cards for me, I'll find something else in the field for me.

Vocation: "where your greatest passion meets the world's greatest need." I think theatre is mine.
