Ring my Belle

So I really should just chill out on the shows, seeing as I did just finish Smokey Joes last month, and I'm leaving for the next 4 weeks to visit home and be an EFY COUNSELOR!!! But no, with every end of a show, the emptiness burns a whole in my heart and it seems the next audition, any audition will putty it back up!

Last minute I auditioned for Beauty & the Beast down at Center Street last week, and...got the part of Belle!! This time last summer, I did a Disney show there, where all the princesses sang a couple songs from their movie and it was just magical! So knowing that the directors had seen me as Belle before, if only for 3 songs, I hoped they would remember me, and that the dress fit me oh so well :)

And strangely, I feel whole again! Its like there are so many avenues that make up one's lifestyle, like a part each for work, family, church, relationships, etc. And part of me has to always be performing, and when I haven't sold my soul to any given theater or group or event, a part of me dies inside!

So come see "Beauty & the Beast", opens Sept 5th through Oct 3rd!
