First Rehearsal & Perks of Being A Wallflower.

Hello!

Today has been the perfect Sunday! I Started the day by sleeping in 'till noon--I may have forgotten to set an alarm for church--and then I listened to music, read for my acting classes, then went to the first rehearsal for "The Wedding Singer". The first rehearsal is always fun. Getting to meet the new cast members, seeing friends, and most of all reading/singing through the script/score! We all knew our parts but we--the ensemble members--found out our tracking (Tracking is a fancy way of saying that we play multiple parts in a show). I can't wait for you all to see this show! Just a warning to not bring your children under the age of 8. After all it is based on the Adam Sandler movie, which is PG-13, and the musical is as well.

Also, over the past 2 weeks I've been reading--and just finished--Stephen Chbosky's Perks of Being A Wallflower and wow. I have never really considered myself a reader or book worm, but this book was by far the best book I have ever read. I will confess and say that I saw the movie before the book, but that prompted me to go buy the book and read it. I'm really bad at writing reviews of anything because I don't remember much of the book because really live in the moment of whats happening in the book. I'm like this with movies and stage shows as well. I do want to encourage everyone to read this book. It is in the same spirit of Catcher in the Rye where a young person finds themselves, or finds themselves, finding their self. That didn't make much sense. But It's 1:45 in the AM and I'm not wanting to re-word anything right now.

That's all for now. But I will say that I will try and up-date this blog once a week at the least. It will contain a lot of wedding singer content and rehearsal updates. But it will also contain up-dates about what I'm reading, or doing other than rehearsals!

Thanks for reading,
Jon
