Tonight is closing night of Titanic. That went freakishly fast…..and this also means that the summer is almost over.

Part 10
All right, this is the final installment of this series…I’ll start posting about other things after this! ; )
Dream Role #10: Margaret in The Light in the Piazza
The Light in the Piazza is such a gorgeous show!! I used to only want to play Clara (and I still wouldn’t turn it down), but I think Margaret is a better fit for me. I think “mother roles” or...

Part 9
All right….I’m almost done….I figure I’ll go up to 10 and then be done!
Dream Role #9: Beth and Little Women
Little Women is one of my all-time favorite stories! And I’ve always wanted to be Beth. I want to play Beth in any way, shape or form of this book; whether it’s the musical, a straight play, the opera or if Hollywood wants a young unknown redhead to...

Part 8
Emily’s #8 dream role: Mother in Ragtime!
This show is UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I’ve never heard anything more incredible than this. I mean, the opening number? Hell-oooooo!! I was lucky enough to see a touring production in ‘08 when I was in CA. Now, the cast was nowhere near as good as the OBC (well, who is? but there were some standouts), but seeing the show performed live...
Hey! Something different!
One of my fave shows is Side by Side by Susan Blackwell. For those who don’t frequent Broadway.com as often as I do, this is an online series that has had 5 episodes so far and each episode features interviews with three Broadway stars! It is hilarious! So, if you’re a musical theatre fan, check it out! All the episodes are on Youtube.
Here’s episode 1:

Part 7
Ok, this one is sort of double-duty:
Both Lucy and Emma in Jekyll and Hyde
All right, now vocally I’m more of an Emma….but how cool would it be to play Lucy?? To just sing some awesome-ly belty ballads AND Dangerous Game? Yes, please. And it’s not like I wouldn’t enjoy playing Emma either, she’s not just a typical soprano, fiancee-type role…all...
Part 6
Dream role #6: Lily in The Secret Garden
I. Love. This. Show.
I was in it my senior year of high school, but I played one of the dreamers (Claire Holmes). That’s the one role that “got away from me”, because they cast the role without callbacks and I was pissed that I didn’t get to try for it (I think one of the reasons they cast who they did was because she fit the...
Part 5
Emily’s #5 dream role: Laurey in Oklahoma!
This is a more traditional dream role…but then again it’s not. I do NOT want to play Laurey unless the style of the show is more like the most recent revival. I used to think the show was fairly boring when I watched the movie….although I loved watching the dancing and listening to the music…but the character of Laurey...
Part 4
Dream role #4: Sheila in Hair
This is a role I would love to play, but it’s one I probably wouldn’t get because I’m not really a “high belter”. If I was cast in Hair I would probably be cast as Chrissie…which is fine with me, I’d get to so sing “Frank Mills”! But I want to play Sheila mainly so I can sing the solo line in “The Flesh...

Part 3
All right, my number 3 dream role: Fantine in Les Miserables!!
Les Mis is another one of those shows where I’d just be glad to be apart of it and would accept any role, but I’ve always loved Fantine. Her part is just so heartbreaking! I’m still probably a little young to play this part, I think she needs to be late 20’s/early 30’s, but I’ll wait! I fell in...
Part 2
All right, I know I just posted a dream role….but I thought I’d do my second dream role just because auditions for it are coming up!
Cinderella in Into the Woods!! I would, love love love to play her! And it’s funny because I never loved her as a Disney princess but I love her in this show! And I’m not a HUGE Sondheim fan, but this is probably one of my top 3 faves of...
Dream Roles
Ok, I’m stealing this idea from theworldisatyourfingertips!
Dream Role #1: Daisy is Side Show
Daisy is the one on the left.
This show has some incredible music and some AMAZING duets for the two sisters. For those who don’t know, this musical is about the conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton who started out working at a freak show to being vaudeville stars. Daisy is the...
"I will be a proper person!"
Well, the first two nights of Titanic are done! And I think they went really well! Especially considering that opening night was our first full run-through! But I think next week and the week after will be amazing! I love that I get to play Kate McGowan….the first time I heard the CD, I knew that was the part I wanted to play in this show. It actually became one of my ‘dream...
So, tonight is our last chance to work on the show. We pushed our call time up and are going to to finish running the show before our preview tonight! Can it be done? We shall see. Otherwise tonight’s preview will be very interesting. But I’m really only worried about running the lifeboat scene, just because we’ve never actually been on the set before! After that,...

Mini update
So, my dad left me a note this morning and he said that mom is doing much better! She had her surgery yesterday and was pretty out of it for most of the day (like when I called her and she had just woken up…ooops). But he said that she’s much more like herself and will be starting physical therapy today and will probably be able to be on crutches!! Yay for no bedrest! Hopefully,...

Not a very good day
So, today I was awakened by our land line ringing. Annoying, but I was going to get up pretty soon anyway so it didn’t bother me very much. When I got downstairs, there was a message on the machine. During her lesson, my Mom’s horse had bucked and she was thrown off head-first. She was taken to the hospital and after a lot of waiting we discovered that she had a broken tailbone and...
My new blog!!
Hello all! I’ve decided to start blogging again! I haven’t blogged since my LJ days in college, so here we go again! : )
Here’s a little bit about myself:
I’m an actor…..that’s about it! It’s pretty much all I do, other than working at a day job that I despise. But I love basically any kind of movie, showtunes (duh), horses, Harry Potter, ice...
