It has been such a long three-months…

But rehearsals for Live Arts’ production of High School Musical are finally over, with our free preview starting tonight. Overall, I’m really pleased with how the show’s come along. It was certainly a different experience being on both the acting and production/design ends of the process (not to mention being the oldest student actor, and youngest member of the design team). And I don’t think I can communicate the mental and physical exhaustion of building the set from 10AM-6PM, then launching straight into rehearsal from 6PM-10PM every night this week. But I’ve kept going forward, knowing that all the work will eventually pay off (you should see the show just for the set, if nothing else).

I’m saving most of my Opening Night blogable material for the upcoming Live Arts blog (hype hype hype…), so I’ll just tell you guys that if you want to see high schoolers who are just a little too excited about being in a musical, a rocking band, and a set worthy of a 1970s Eurovision Song Contest, Live Arts is the place to be. Opening weekend is close to selling out, but click here to find out the show dates and times. Hope some of you can make it!

P.S. - I’m playing the school’s sound kid that does the morning PA announcements. Considering I’m also the sound designer for the show, that’s a bit ironic, don’t you think?

Hey–hadn’t been to your blog in a long time. We’re all going to see the show tonight at Live Arts. I’ll be trying to figure out who you are.
