Planning, again

This week has been pretty quiet. I did finally hear back from Ohio University. I'd emailed them requesting information back in October, and just got a message this last Monday. They're on-campus audition day is Feb 7. I'm ambivalent about auditioning for them: on the one hand, their website didn't sound particularly welcoming and they're definitely focused on professional actor training, not teaching. On the other hand, there's that nagging in the back of my head, what if this is the one school I'm accepted to? Ultimately, I think it would just be too hard on me to audition there are the 7th and come back just to turn around and go on my audition extravaganza the next week.
Marly, thanks for the monologue suggestion. I'd completely forgotten about that one, but you're right, it's a very powerful moment. The only other idea I'd had was one as the sprite from The Tempest.
Fortunately, I'm off work this next Tuesday through Sunday. I'm planning on using that time to pick out and start work on the new monologues, get the oil changed in both of our cars, finalize travel plans (buy plane ticket, etc.) for Rhode Island. Plus, my sister-in-law Cari is off work on Wednesday as well, so we're planning on going to a movie together that neither of our husbands are interested in.
In other life, we're resuming the bi-monthly game night tomorrow. We've relocated to Jake & Cari's house since Brian has moved to an apartment now (he's also gotten another Newfoundland puppy, super-cute little fuzz ball!). Everyone's projected to be there tomorrow so we're all jumping back into being huge nerds and fighting each others' miniature armies.
Tomorrow is also my final rehearsal for "Nebraskaland". I was pretty good at being off-book with my lines last week, but honestly haven't looked at them again since then. I'll have to do a little brushing up later today. It'll also be my only chance to rehearse with set, costumes and sound cues. I don't think I have any actual performances scheduled until March though, so it's not like tomorrow will be do-or-die.
Tim has started advertising for Adam's position at the Tea Smith. The idea is to get this person hired asap, so that they can start basic tea training and gradually take on more and more of Adam's responsibilities. Last we heard, Tim had 4 interviews scheduled and a couple of other possibles to set up meetings with as well.
So yeah, that's how things stand right now. Just FYI, 14 weeks until Moving Week!
