UTH ---> NTC

So...... It's been a while. Oops. I've been busy.

We finished out the 2014 season of Unto These Hills strong. The summer was full of new friends, theatre, and far too much fast food. I directed a show, performed in three others, and even won an award for "saving" shows--ended up playing a handful of roles I wasn't originally cast in. I got into a relationship this summer with the lovely Erin Gathercoal. I made a number of connections and hope to work with several of my coworkers again in the future. It was a great summer.

Yet all things must end (hoping the aforementioned relationship is immune to this absolute). I said goodbye to Cherokee, NC a few weeks ago. But frankly, I haven't had any time to stop and really think about it, because five days later, I got on a plane and flew to Minneapolis, where I began rehearsals for a tour with the National Theatre for Children. This is tour #2 for me--Dan O and I did a tour with them last January-March, you can read about some of our adventures during that period over at http://dansquaredblog.blogspot.com/

This time around, I'm working with an NTC veteran named T.J. Besler. This marks his 8th tour for NTC. Last time around, I was in North and South Carolina. This time, however, I've moved further west to Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. We just finished up our first week of performances, and it is certainly shaping up to be a fun tour.

So far, I have already gone to six bookstores (Magers and Quinn, The Friendly Bookstore, Dickson St. Books, Nightbird Books, and 2 Barnes and Noble). Tour is off to a good start.

Anywho. I'm going to try and be a bit more consistent about keeping up with the blog. We'll see if that actually happens.
