MEGA-HAT TIP TO JULIA!!!!

It's not much

I have a new blog.

All the world's a stage...

Dear family o' mine,

I finally have an official update on my auditions.

The Merchant of Venice: I texted several of you about this one. I got two callbacks for the part of Jessica and I just got a phone call from the director saying I didn't get it.

The Odd Couple: I'm not sure if any of you knew I was auditioning for this one, but I did AND I got in! (I'm not allowed to say what part, but it's kinda a no-brainer since there are only two female roles in the entire play.) Needless to say, it's going to be amazing and y'all will definitely be forced to sit through a dvd viewing at one of our future get-togethers.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: I didn't even have to audition for this one! I'm helping with costumes, hair, and makeup and got pulled in. The girl who is playing Candy can't make it one night so I'm covering for her. Last night we were talking and she doesn't think she'll be able to do the morning shows either, so it looks like I've got three more performances. That'd be four in all, almost half!

So there you have it. It certainly shall be a busy few months.

With all my love,
Rachael

Hilarious.

Best Screen Chemistry EVER!

By the pricking of my thumbs...

...something wicked (awesome) this way comes.

A friend from Macbeth photographed rehearsal the other night. Post-apocalyptic Shakespeare? You can't get much better than that!
(And yet another reason why y'all should move up north.)

Dear All:

Just a quick post to let you know I now have a personal blog! I'm using it as a platform from which to note art and design that catches my eye -- when I remember to post to it, that is. :)

Cars Re-enactment

Ever wonder about that crash the "King" has at the end of the movie Cars? A lot of people know it was a re-enactment of the actor's actual car crash during a race. But have you ever actually watched it??

Here's another one of Richard Petty's famous crashes. The man is under one blessed star.

This guy, not Richard Petty, was also very, very luck.

Too amazing not to share

Fear the Boom and Bust

Should be playing in every high school!... and, y'know, on a perpetual loop at the Fed and in the halls of Congress.



(Sorry I couldn't make the video smaller. It drives me crazy when it spills over into our sidebar like that! But, YouTube didn't offer a smaller option.)

HI-larious.

Obama SOTU: More of...ME!

Obama's answer for America: more of me

By JONAH GOLDBERG

There's a story of an exhausted tenor at La Scala who, facing repeated cries of "Encore," responded that he couldn't go on. A man rose in the audience to say, "You'll keep singing until you get it right."

That seems to be the defining principle of the Obama administration -- whose response to every problem, every setback, every hiccup and challenge has been, simply, "more Obama."

Indeed, for people who aren't sticklers for political jargon, it will be a shock that last night was Obama's first State of the Union Address, since it was his third formal address to a joint session of Congress. Yet for all of the political déjà vu, what was most surprising last night was the degree to which Obama delivered even more of the same.

Not a joke!

Obama Mia!

By DANIEL SCHWAMMENTHAL

Frankfurt

"Hope—The Obama Musical Story" premiered here Sunday evening. One is tempted to end the review right there. Seriously, isn't the oeuvre's title and premature timing commentary enough? Sure, the U.S. president has been (favorably) compared to God but even Jesus Christ had to wait nearly 2,000 years before he became a Superstar.
