I thought you guys might get a kick out of this. This is Kyle (he played Claude) and me...

So, I just got the call. I've been cast in a show at Manoa Valley Theatre called "Once Upon One Time". It's sort of a local take on "Into the Woods". I'm playing one of the 7 dwarfs (menehunes in this show) called Wen. (The menehunes are: Who, What, Wen, Wea, Why, How Come and Lolo.) It's a kids show that's mostly slapstick, which I adore. I have to WD40 my pidgin accent for the next 3 months or so.

I ask you, how can one little kids theatre show have so much backstage drama? I mean, really? No, I'm not surprised but it's annoying how much the backstage drama is seemingly integral to the whole theatre thing....

Oy freakin vey!

So tonight is the Po'okela Awards. It's the Hawai'i version of the Tony's for the theatres statewide.

I must say I have butterflies. The "Hair" cast is performing "Aquarius", "Flesh Failures" and "Let the Sunshine In". You know, a little performance where all the producers, directors and my fellow actors will be watching.

But the history of these awards is that I am usually snubbed. We'll see if that continues...

Three shows I was in are up for Best Ensemble and Best Musical:
"Once Upon One Time"
"The Drowsy Chaperone"
and
"Hair"

Fingers crossed.

My biggest wish is that Janine Myers and Jim Davenport get Best Lighting for their enormous lit up peace sign that was hanging over the audience for "Hair". It was spectacular.

If I stop swimming, I'll die... like a shark.

On to the next role. I just got cast in "Crazy for You" over at Diamond Head Theatre. I'm playing Eugene, a British tourist. I dusted off a British accent that is more of a parody of a British accent. Somewhere along the lines of Terry Thomas and just went nuts during the audition. The director loved it. And I love him. And he loves me for loving him and I love him for loving me. And we loooove each other...

He's going to accommodate my schedule for the show I'm currently in. So, there's no break betwixt shows. Which is ok by me. Rehearsals start today, the show I'm in closes on the 15th.

Anyway, new show, new part, different theatre than the last couple of shows with a director who is a good friend.

Yay!

Looking good Brad - sure wish I could come see

When the site was (slowly) coming up and I looked at the URL, I was trying to figure out was "Hawaiian Ew Snow" meant

There were a lot of people who came for it, but the people of the Twittersphere that were in the house were too distracted by what was going on onstage to tweet about it during the show. So it was more of a spreading the word after the fact thing than a play by play thing. It was quite odd to see so many glowing blue faces in the house.

So, even though "Hair" is still not over and we're hoping to extend for 2 more weeks... The next 2 things are already on the table for me: a fundraiser dinner for Manoa Valley Theatre and one for Diamond Head Theatre. At MVT I will be a hippie and the tribe will be entertaining guests at a formal dinner. At DHT I will be playing a mafia godfather for a murder mystery fund raiser that they are having.

The DHT fund raiser is going to be tough. 45 page script for a one night only performance. Oy vey. Lots of dialogue. I found out that as I get older, it takes me longer to memorize things. Yuck.
