Hale.

I just wanted to throw out an entry to let you all know that I was cast as Tansy in The Nerd at Hale Center Theater West Valley.

For those of you not from Utah, that's... a pretty big deal. I'm reeling. The unbelievability factor of this, on a scale from one to ten, rates ... a fifteen, here, for me. HCTWV has been such a source of intimidation and fear in my acting life over the past few years... they do such great shows and hire such amazing talent... and now I'm actually doing a show there. Not even just doing a show, playing a lead on my first shot.

I feel like I went amazingly mad someplace.

And I was single-cast. That means I'll be doing every show, not alternating with another cast. Monday through Saturday, with two shows on New Year's Eve and on Saturdays (I think). We open on New Year's Eve and close, I think, on my birthday.

And I'm getting paid. That especially does not translate at all. I have become one of those insanely lucky people that gets paid for something they love to do.

I can't even think of things to say. I'm still in shock that I got this role. Get back to me in a few days and I'll be unbelievably ecstatic, but right now... I'm still in shock after some twenty-four hours.
