I was delighted this weekend to accept a contract with Prather again for the re-up of Sound of Music this summer in Florida. So - Wisconsin until May, then 2 weeks rest at home and I go to Florida for the summer. I'm hoping to go to Disney World after we get done - it's the off-season down there, it seems, and I haven't been to DW since Epcot was built! I know that not all of last summer's cast will be back, but I'm still looking forward to it. The set is gorgeous, and Seth did a beautiful job with the direction last summer. I am so blessed. I'm in a business with lots of wonderful people with amazing talent - that's proven by the auditions where we are called in in groups and get to hear each other sing. It's the reason I love the group calls like that - I love hearing others on the line. It's inspiring and a chance to grow, to see what works in an audition for others. And how often do you get to hear other singers perform like that now that we're not in college/conservatory setting any more - no rep classes! This last Prather call I got to hear an amazing performance of Lonely Room from Oklahoma!, among other things - including finally getting to hear Pete sing, and Amanda sing a new audition piece! (And it was great catching up! I realized how much I miss the folks form Arizona.)

More later.
