masquerade

I'm having great fun with my vacation. So much sleeping. I may even catch up eventually.

This has also been a wicked fun party summer for me. New avenues have been explored and much dancing has been done. Hopefully at least some of this can keep happening once the "party summer" is over.

Helped danny_g move. I can take the credit for at least some of the unpacked-by-five that resulted.

My quest to be less fat seems to be going well. I am going to irritate the living heck out of whomever has to do the fitting on my ginormous wedding dress.


And, of course, there's theatre stuff. We have two things coming up - A performance:

Scorpio theatre presents, as part of the 2006 Calgary Fringe Festival

The Very Long Night of Tyler and Selena

It's amazing what can happen in one night

Tyler is having a very bad night. His girlfriend just broke up with him, he can't seem to get anything done for his big meeting in the morningeverything just seems to be unravelling. Then he meets Selena and finds out that there are a lot of people in the world having a worse night than he is. Soon he's seeing a side of the city he never even knew existed and looking at his life in a whole new light. (Warnings: language and adult content.)

We are looking for 3 men and 3 women that can play twenty-somethings. (This does not mean you actually have to be in your twenties.)

Synopsis:
When do you stop wondering what you want to be when you grow up? Six friends in their mid-twenties are trying to figure out how adulthood works. Xavier's not sure he can be a typical grown-up, while his attorney wife Miranda wishes he'd start trying. Riley's looking for direction in his life, while Angela fights to avoid the direction everyone thinks she should head in. Theresa's tired of solving everyone's problems while her own go unnoticed, and Bobby's too busy experimenting to figure out what he wants. A play about the fine line between youth and grown-ups, and how easy it is to trip over. (Warnings: language and adult content.)
