Evening.

Dunno why I'm updating this when I never use the bloody thing.

So yesh, just been at college where the main aim over the next month is to figure out where we wanna go next year. For me? Drama school. Working my ass off for it too.

Not much else happening really.
Finished the Hedda Gabler run which wasn't majorly exciting tbh.
and have got a SUDS play coming up which I'm doing stage management for.

I was given the immense opportunity to be in the Sheffield run of Evita shows which I took with both hands! I uploaded the desktop which has the cast pic on. These last two weeks have flown by but I don't think I've had so much fun The cast were nice and my fellow supers were awesome! Champagne was brought in on two occasions and dressing room 12 was the place to be most days XD
Met Seamus Cullen and he came in to the dressing room on the last night to thank us for being there. He really isn't as nobby as he was on TV in that Joseph program
I had a really good chat with the DSM who gave me his view on the job and drama school. He'd actually stuck a post it on the desk to remind him which was cool because he actually took time out to speak with me. He graduated in 2002 from 'Bruford and said it was good but also explained that drama schools have ups and downs so it's pot luck as to whether or not you have a good graduating year. He said Central generally produce average students and Mountview was on the up. It was funny because the chat happened to coincide with the physical warmup so I was trying to not get distracted with the (mostly gay) male dancers warming up...
You know, even on the first night I wasn't shaking nervous and never was throughout the whole fortnight. I just checked on the Lyceum website and I was on stage in front of around 1000 people per performance yet before then I could barely get words out during performances. Mental but also AWESOME!!!
My first professional performance get in!
I should say right now that it was unpaid but tbh it was worth it.
If you get a chance to see the show before Louise Dearman leaves in November, go for it!

But yeah that's about it.
