Maaaaad Excitement.

So I definetly lied to myself when i SAID i would take a year off from theater.
TADA! My old youth theater company invited me to audition for a festival that they are apart of. And thank God....its not children's theater! Wooo hooo!

Susan-Lori Parks...is the playwright. I think for most, they would recognize the play she did on Broadway a few years ago..."Topdog/Underdog". She is an African American writer, who has made quite a name for herself in the theater district. She started a project in 2002, where she wanted to write 365 plays in 365 days. Crazy huh? I'll fckn say. Anyways, she accomplished it. Made a book about it, and is now including 700 theaters to participate in her 365 plays festival. We'll be performing at TADA! and then we will be getting our asses in The Public Theater for one night!!! If you didn't know, the Public Theater is a very well-known off broadway theater, located I think in Astor Pl. I'm so psyched. Even with a little part, I find that this is where I belong. I'm planning on soaking up as much of the preparation and acting process as possible. I'm trying to create a great repore (spell? hello.) with as many theater people as I can. I've gotta grasp any of these opportunities I can and nip them in the butt (BUD? whichever is supposed to be right). I've got to get the headshots popping and i've gotta get the body moving, and I've just gotta work hard. I guess...i just can't stay away. I have a feeling that after this experience, i'm going to get back the taste of theater and only want to get into it even more.....

So although we only have a 30min time slot, i'm going to start researching and getting used to the taste of her words and the rhythm of her lines right away. One of the plays that I am interested in purchasing and reading is The Death of the Last Black Man in the Whole Entire world.
here is the link to the play cycle...woo hoo. http://www.365days365plays.com/
I'm so psyched. Good luck to all.
