Spring Awakening is coming to town!

For years, I have been a fanatic of both Broadway and musicals in general. When I was young, I would beg my parents to take me local musicals. I even joined the Performing Arts Society at my elementary school for a year and landed the role of 'super star.' It's not what you think. I was literally a little girl wearing the costume of a ginormous bright yellow cardboard star with Christmas lights. Unlike the other "little" stars, I had to stand on a box and stay in place since my lights were plugged. Unfortunately, there were no wireless or battery operated lights yet back then! My parents have this all captured on video-scary, I know.

Being part of drama productions in junior high heightened my interest even more. I even had the western accent perfected for a dinner theatre production we did. In college, I took a Theatre Arts class that had me going to numerous plays and musicals. For that class, we had to write reviews and that's when I really fell in love with performing arts. There's just something about musicals that allow me to get lost with the story and I come out feeling totally refreshed. Not to mention, they usually have some pretty admirable and talented performers.

Having gone to most off-Broadway productions that come to LA or Orange County, I couldn't help but squeal with excitement when I heard that Spring Awakening was coming to town. I immediately signed up to be a Guilty One to promote the show in hopes of scoring some on-stage seats. Wish me luck! If you want to see the show, let me know and we'll all go together! If you sign up to be a Guilty One, please feel free to put my name on the referral line. Thanks!
