About 4 years ago I saw my first Hale Theatre play, "Fiddler on the Roof." I was so amazed! Ever since, I've wanted to be in a show but I was scared I wasn't good enough so I never auditioned. Even though I was too scared, my younger brother was not. Over the past 3 years, I've gotten to enjoy watching him in many plays there and having the time of his life. (They shows they put on there are incredible!) Every time I went to see one of his shows, I secretly wished I was down on the floor singing and dancing with them.

Well this past week, I finally worked up the nerve and auditioned for Hale Centre Theatre's upcoming show, "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers."
The first night was dancing and singing a prepared solo. I'm a dancer, not a singer, so I rocked the dance section (if I do say so myself ;) ) and only did so-so on my solo. Amazingly enough, I got called back!! During call backs I felt once again that I did well in the dancing part, but I didn't think I did well in the other areas (learning and singing a solo from the play, readings, partner work) so I was sure I didn't make the play. I was down the rest of the night and it carried over the next day.
However, the morning following auditions, I received a call from one of the producers offering me a part as a bride!! Oh my gosh!! I am so excited. I'm not sure which bride I will be yet, but I'm sure I'll find out during out first read through next week. It still hits me at random times that I will actually be fulfilling one of my dreams to be in a Hale musical!
The play runs from Oct. 15-Nov. 28. I hope you all can come see it!! It'll be amazing.
P.S. I can't believe I'm in a Hale musical!! HAHAHA WOOHOO!!!
