What? WHAT?!

Me as Freda Knott in Hansel & Gretel with Theater Schmeater

Well, I now it's been for-eh-ver since I posted (I have a good excuse! I have a good excuse!), but my camera took a nose-dive (yeah, OK it was back in May, but still...) and has been at the repair shop since then (waiting for me to pick it up for... 6 weeks or so now... Whoops?)! OK, so I really have no excuse for not posting except that I have been busy (what's new), it's kinda been nice NOT having to take pictures of myself all the time (I'm really not THAT vain...) and I've been saving SO MUCH TIME in the morning (by not taking the pics) and in the afternoon (by not writing about the pics) that I kinda got used to it.

BUT this afternoon on my way home from the grocery store I finally remembered to grab it! Yay! New (sorta!) camera(-ish)!

To start things off, I figured I'd show you all what I look like in my current show. I play the older sister of Hansel & Gretel and let's just say I'm not the brightest crayon in the box... I get to play a dumb blonde! She's very Disney Princess or as one girl said to me after the show, "You are like a Barbie". I'll TAKE IT!

It's fun and ridiculously over-the-top. Turns out I like being ridiculous (who knew?). Plus, it's loverly break after all of the tragedies I've done recently.

Also, in "breaking" news, turns out I'll be playing Mrs Walker in Tommy with one of my fav directors ever over on Bainbridge Island in October. I'm a little nervous about the trek (4 days a week for rehearsals and 3 times a week for the 3 week run) and how it's gonna affect my work scheduling... But overall I am VERY excited to play the female lead in this show and actually DO a musical again!

THEN in November/December I will be playing a nice small(-ish) ensemble role in Scrooge at Seattle Musical Theater. ANOTHER musical... Yesh! Seattle is really making a case for me to stick around (now, if I could only land one of those BIG houses...)

Welcome back to GinaSpam, blog followers, I know you all missed me!
