Busy, Busy, Busy.

I woke up around 4AM on Saturday - our bus was leaving CHS at 5:45. The cast of How To Eat Like A Child was traveling up to Broad Run High School to compete in the Region II VHSL Theatre Competition. Six schools were there, with a surprising variety in the types of shows they presented (there was actually a 25-minute one-[wo]man show that astounded me).

We won.

I don’t mean to sound cocky, but I figured we would either get first or last: judges tend to love or hate musicals, and it could have gone either way. I even got a nomination for the best actor award! But, we got first place, so we’ll be going to the State-level competition on December 4th. It’s a long drive, though… They’re holding it at *gasp*, Charlottesville High School. Fun.

Also, I recorded and mixed together the cast recording of the show over the weekend, and I uploaded one of the songs for you guys (yes, that’s me singing at the end…): We Refuse To Fall Asleep.mp3

Additionally, the cast list for Anything Goes was posted this morning - I am Sir Evelyn Oakleigh. I’m British (also fun). He’s actually one of the leads, but honestly I wouldn’t care about how big the role is, as long as I get to talk in a British accent for an hour and a half.

I felt like gloating.
