I don’t often have very much time to post here, because I am so concerned with my own blog being that it is my senior project, but I want some people here to be able to follow a little of what I’m doing. I came to an extreme realization this evening at rehearsal. [...]

I was doing 2′6″ jump courses in horseback riding today. They were scary. So when my instructor told me to sing in my head to keep rhythm, I started humming “Hold Me, Bat Boy.” Oh, the dedication. I’m living, eating, sleeping, and breathing Bat Boy.
We have broken down every scene now and fine tuned every [...]
Distracted by our creation…
Published by October 30th, 2006 thalpern in Acting and Bat Boy. 0 CommentsAt the moment, I should be studying for a political science exam. At the moment, I cannot stop thinking about the musical so I feel tempted to write another blog.

Now the exciting job of line memorization… but I want you all to remember that Gregg and Stage Management is here to help the actors. Don’t hesitate to come to any of us if [...]

I probably would have been totally lost if I didn’t have so much support from the other actors. I’d really [...]
Hello all,
It seems with that each play I have ever done, I grow as a person in some shape or form. With A Midsummer Night’s Dream I learned that it is okay to express sexuality with playing the role of Titania. With The Foreigner, I learned that a bond and friendship can oocur with no [...]
It has been a few days with the bald head, and all is well. I never thought I would be bald ever in my life. It is interesting to me about how something that seems so trivial as hair can really inform your choices in a role. The mental change that my lack of hair [...]
