I am going to be in a play called Fiddler on the Roof (perhaps you’ve heard of it) Jr.  It is a version of the movie and play for kids to do.  I am the “villain” of the play.  I will be doing two roles though.  My official title would be Papa/Constable.  I am only in one singing/dancing scene, but have about 10 lines in 3 different scenes.  I can hardly wait till the performances and they’re still 3 weeks away!  Tevye (Daniel) and Lazar (Jason) are twins.  They like to goof around and it is really fun to hang out with them between scenes.  They think up really fun dances and other crazy things.  I don’t have the dates with me but I’ll post them soon.  Gotta go now but if you want to you can contact me.  If you don’t have my email then ask me for it.

Hello,

I am volunteering at the Ocala Civic Theatre in the Sound Booth.  The play is (Horn trumpeting here), “The Beloved Dearly” Abby is in it and Dad is running the light board.  The Light Board is in the Sound Booth but it isn’t attached to the Sound Board.  The Sound Board has 72 channels, 4 amps, 2 CD players, and zillions of other small things that I don’t know any reason for them to be there except to confuse me.  Today was my first day in the actual booth but not my first day there for this play.  I’m not sure if I did a good job but the guy who is teaching me is confident that I’ll be ready come performance time.  I am getting hints from my parents that perhaps I ought to be moving in the direction of bed but I need to finish first.  It is a cute play with a handful of kind of funny parts.  Including people rolling around on the ground crying, “I prom’se I’lltryharder. Ipromise!”

Hopefully it won’t be to hard.  Dad says that I’m in “seventh heaven.”  I’m not so sure quite yet because they are still yet to bring the cake and ice cream up to me during performances and practices.  I’m gonna talk to them tomorrow.  In the meantime I hope that anyone, everyone, and all who read this have (had, will have, did have, or any other sort of tense for that meaning) a good night’s sleep.  Chao!
