Jan 26, 2014 Well, that’s a wrap. Shrek’s all done, and for me CSOPA’s all done. But to be honest, as sad as it is, I’m ready. I think after A Year with Frog and Toad I didn’t feel like my time at CSOPA was over but now I do. And that’s not at all … Read more
SUNDAY NIGHT. I’m currently eating an actual dinner right now. And sitting. And still slightly green. And it’s awesome. Super sorry I haven’t blogged in a while but I’ve been doing this weird thing called performing. I’m in this show called… um… Shrek. I think. Either way it’s pretty awesome. So I’m going to take … Read more
January 16, 2014 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. First two-shows-in-one-day complete! A morning show for schools and then our second preview night. In between shows people were either sleeping, doing homework, eating, or just chilling. It was nice to have a break to work on my audition material. I think our morning show was pretty good but definitely not … Read more
January 15, 2014 FIRST AUDIENCE! I honestly do not understand the people who don’t get nervous. Like what?! I honestly almost peed my pants when the orchestra started playing the first couple notes of our show. I remember when I taught intermediate musical theatre at CSOPA all the kids would say that they’re nervous. I … Read more
January 14, 2014 Well I’m not going to lie, today was a bit more of a bummer. Basically every time I stepped on stage I screwed up. Or some aspect of my performance didn’t work like me tripping to the ground in tap, my tap coming off of my shoe resulting in me tapping in … Read more
January 13, 2014 Dress rehearsal numero one! I’M POOPED. We started off two hours earlier than we usually do in previous years and still didn’t get out until 11:15. I think it’s because there’s a ton more technical additions to this show as well as fast costume and makeup changes. No fire curtains were dropped … Read more
January 12, 2014 Today was a bit of a longer day than yesterday but still just as fun! We started right at ten to finish the Q2Q. The second part of Q2Q went by in about two hours. I think this was because we were all more comfortable with the stage, the set pieces, and … Read more

The blog will be updated after each rehearsal, starting on December 23rd and ending after final dress rehearsal on January 14th. Enjoy! 23 December … Read more
January 9th 2013 So, today we had our first audience and we didn’t do nearly as terribly as I feared we would. Actually in my opinion, we did very well. The schedule for the evening was as it will be for the rest of the run. 5:30 – 6:00 putting on mics 6:00 – 6:30 … Read more
January 7th 2013 Countdown to first audience: t-minus 2 days Today was absolutely amazing, we were called at 3:30 and shortly thereafter, we began finishing last night’s Q 2 Q. that was fairly uneventful and by 6:00, we were supposed to go get into hair, makeup and costume in order to begin our first dress rehearsal for … Read more
