Hey, I know this is pretty absurd, but I thought I'd advertise that I will be performing in a <makeitsoundbetterthanitreallyis> WORLD-PREMIERE </makeitsoundbetterthanitreallyis> musical called "Letting Go."

Details on what it's about, where and when it will be performed, and how much:
http://spiritedproductions.com/_wsn/page3.html

I will be playing the roles of Sebastian (a Roman soldier) and the bridegroom, as well as some occassional not-seen chorus parts. So if you happen to be in Maryland at the time (*coughhappydudfishstickzsugarless5MadQuacketc.*) please come see me perform.

So, why exactly is it named "Letting go"?

It's called "Letting Go" because The One Ring of Power grips all with its evil power, and only by letting it go can they be free--*cough*

Seriously, it's called that because the main characters (Marcus and Sussana), after meeting Jesus, have to make the choice between either continuing with their previous lives or letting go of them and follow the type of life Jesus lives. It's a thematic thing.

For those of you who may be wondering, no, it's not aimed just for Christians. The play was written in a way that I think it can be enjoyed from a purely dramatic perspective. If nothing else, the music is pretty sweet. I can attach one of the musical parts minus words to give you all a taste of the style. It'd obviously be better live, of course, and with words

For fear of being square, I shall be there.

count me in

(I'm definitely a huge fan of musicals)

If someone wants to drive me, and it's on a day where I don't work, I'll go.

Looks cool. If the tour stops by Santa Cruz, I'll be sure to go.

dagnabit. Make more showing dates! I'm going to be starting my new college life in Baltimore on September 2nd!

the maryland crew [so far] is coming on Sunday, July 31st.

I can drive you Rob if you can get off of work. :p

wait- this is by the same guy who did Last Rights? I saw that!

Yes, it's directed/created by the same person. I knew him in high school

On a side note, I performed in his first rendition of "Last Rights" as Abraham (a son of the millionare that is put on life support -- he's the unsure one). The role was changed to a female for the second rendition of Last Rights that you probably saw.

Can I be Jesus?


(Come to RI, we have that place where people perform stuff...it's great.)

So why'd you stop playing the character?

(Ohhhhh, burn!)

Actually, it was part circumstance, part selfishness. I had tried out, and he had offered the same part to me. I had been fustrated that he was giving me the same part, as I felt I could have played other male parts that, from what I had learned, he wouldn't be able to fill in and would have to either make them female or whatever. I was also taking a summer class at the time, so I used it as an excuse to decline the part. I still feel bad for doing so.

The only reason I wasn't in "Freed" was because I was scheduled WAY in advance to visit my mother in England at the time the performances would be held.

Sadly, the shows are scheduled up until just before my (hopefully) triumphant return to Maryland from the land of Turks. Perhaps we can have a way-afterparty thing. <_<

Heebedee can't come, but he did come to annapolis last night and meet Madquack and I!

It was glorious times, he'll post pictures soon.

Won't you.

*narroweyes*

here's an idea... have someone make me a DVD or tape... send it to me and i will make a real NeS post

Happydud and Fishstickz came to see me in my play! Yayayayayayyaayayay!

I'll post the photo I took some time later.

I was sad more Maryland Massassians couldn't come with dud though

From left to right: me, happydud, and fishstickz. Yes, I know, I'm freakin' tall. :p

laminated armor?

It's what we got, Genki :p

I guess if happydud or someone else feels compelled to give their commentary on it... it'd be cool to hear an objective view on the play

Sugarless came to see my show! Yay! I wish I had my camera with me

And yes, people, I can attest personally now to sugarless's sexehness--er--*cough* I'm a gentlemen, really <_<

It was great, I'm definitely glad I came!
