Actor(s) Needed...Glad To See People Back Out There

A Friend of mine is putting on a show.

And he needs one, maybe two actors to round out the cast.

Since 2000 I have been involved in numerous community theater productions, and a couple of shows where I actually got paid. I've met some amazing people and had some amazing times with those people. Over the past couple of years, I scaled back, averaging a show a year and sometimes not even that.

Last year, basically torpedoed any chance to perform--not just for me, but for anyone.

But my friend is taking a chance and putting on a show. It's not a show in a traditional way--it's a script reading. The show will be performed Friday, 2/19/21 with a read-through via Zoom on the Tuesday before. I was asked by the producer/director that they need one more actor--maybe two--to complete the cast. If you are in the area (the show is in Layton, Utah...) and you're interested, contact me and we'll see if we can make this happen.

I'm glad people are taking chances again. From what I understand, there will be social distancing measures in place at the show to protect all involved. It's a chance to perform. I know some theaters in our local area have returned to the stage. Since I haven't attended any, I don't know what measures they've put in place. Hopefully, they've done all they can do to make sure the show is safe.

As things come back, slowly, more and more people will be taking chances, putting themselves out there. I hope this little show is just another way of making that happen. Time will tell.

What Do You Do When Blogger Goes Down?

Yesterday (like, perhaps, many of you...) Blogger was down and as midnight drew closer, I needed to post something because, after all, when you have a goal to write a daily blog, that daily blog needs to be written.

I turned to Facebook and wrote what you can read below. Good ol' Facebook--there when you need it.

Blogger is now up so I'm posting yesterday's issue. As of now, my blog post for Wednesday including a nice little poem (my opinion, of course...) is gone. It might be gone forever--such is our digital world. I hope it can be found. I kind of liked it. I don't write a lot of poetry.

So, here's what I stayed up until after midnight last night waiting to post:

I've been waiting for Blogger to come back on-line, but I suppose it's not going to happen, and it's almost midnight (MDT). So, I guess Facebook is the medium for my blog post tonight.

I'm in another show. I've never done a show for Farmington City before. I have many friends who have and they've very much enjoyed their experience. We're only a few weeks in but I'm impressed by the strength of the voices in the cast. The chorus is good. And it's one of the few times I've only been one character in a show...

We've got a few months to put this thing on its feet. I'll let you know how it's going.

I just checked Blogger...still down. Thanks, all of you, for understanding.
