WORKING!
Hey everyone,
Tonight I concluded my involvement in college theatre with the closing of my show Working. It was quite a fun show to put on, and I was lucky to work with such an amazing ensemble of singers/actors/people. Despite the unfortunate schedule of the run (Thursday and Friday night and Saturday matinée) I was lucky to have a great deal of support coming from Milwaukee to see the show, including my loving mother who took an early flight back from her mission trip to be able to see it. Thanks to everyone who intended.
Yes, we're actually standing on a set of the word Working. It had somewhat of a Sesame Street meets everyman feel. We used only the blocks to make up our set, and they became tables in a restaurant, car seats and cubicles. Everyone was miced, even though we did it in a small black box theater, because the whole time we were competing with a 5 piece band that was all amplified. I got a lot of comments like, " There was not one weak voice in the show" and "The acting was as good as any professional level" which are amazing to hear, and welcome after the hard work we put into it. We started staging 3 weeks ago and had only had one week of musical rehearsal before that. However, I have to tell you that I wouldn't want to be stuck with any other people for such a condensed period of time than the eight people who did the show. All were very supportive of one another, and I ended up learning a great deal from everyone.
I'll also include this picture of my first number. Of course the women got to be back up singers/dancers to my "Lovin' Al." Unfortunately, in this picture, two of the girls look like they are going to kill me.

Shout Out to Jesse!
We were able to get to Lawrence last night to see Jesse in Working. Awesome show, awesome ensemble cast, awesome nephew! The nine member cast portrays almost 30 different characters (real people actually interviewed and each character is in their own words) about their line of work. Funny, sad, reflective, raunchy, eye-opening, highly entertaining. Go if you can!
