Unexpected Special Guest

So I recently shared this on my website, but I thought I would share it here as well!

Recently a friend who I met while performing at Idlewild and Soakzone sent me a video of a hilarious moment from the summer.

This is a video of me as the character Demi singing "Give Your Heart A Break" in Camp Rockmore Talent Show at Idlewild.

As I remember it... I was starting out the song, everything was going as expected. We had a big audience that day, and we were all excited about it. As I started to get to the chorus people started laughing. I thought, "Okay, what's going wrong? My microphone was working, nothing was wrong with my costume, my wig was still on my head... Did I sing a weird note?" Now people are laughing hysterically, so I turn expecting to see a cast member pranking me, a set mishap, anything! But no, there is a toddler stealing the stage! I wanted to laugh so hard, but I kept my composure and did what my college professors would expect of me and... "Took the coaching." 

I went to the baby and sang to her. If she was going to steal the scene, I ought to let her have it! She deserved it! This baby just adored the stage! I have to admit, I was the same way as a kid. If someone let me have the stage, you can bet they weren't getting it back!

The best part though, is seeing my cast members come back onstage after their quick change and finally realize what went wrong! 

Enjoy this hilarious moment of live theatre!

Summer 2013

Today we're going to do a little throwback to my time at Idlewild and Soakzone with RWS and Associates!

I was so lucky to be offered a contract at Idlewild for many reasons. 

First of all, RWS and Associates is an amazing company and one I have wanted to work for quite some time. They take great care of their actors and the company is still growing. (Did I mention that they won an Emmy?) They continuously have amazing opportunities all over the country for their actors and I am so proud to say that I have worked with them not only once, but twice! (More on that later!)

Second of all, the contract I received was long and diverse. I had work and housing in my field for a solid four months. Additionally, got to perform three very different shows for very appreciative audiences every single day!

Last but not least, this cast was and is incredible. They are such a hardworking, loving, and creative team that anyone would love working alongside. We certainly had our ups and downs, but we put on amazing shows together everyday. (If I do say so myself!)

I miss singing and dancing alongside these crazy people! 

Stay tuned for more adventures to come!
