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

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

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

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.

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
