"The Idiot Box" Opens Tonight

So, there's been some changes to my involvement in "The Idiot Box" since my last post. First, I was going to understudy two of the roles in the show, then that changed to just one of the roles, then that changed to completely taking over a whole other role, as well as still understudying the other. The last change took place this past Monday, which meant I had four days (during TECH week) to learn a whole new role (and an accent). The new role is the guest star Veronica Beecham, an Australian dog shusherer. I will be playing Veronica four of the five weekend runs, and Chloe for one big weekend (June 12, 13, 14th).

Also, we open tonight! It's been a roller coaster but (I think) we're ready. One thing I keep reminding myself is TO NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF OPENING NIGHT MAGIC.

Hey look! I'm a genuine Aussie! And not on the nose in the least bit!
