This Broadway hit starred Katharine Hepburn as Tracy Lord of the Philadelphia Lords, an inhibited and spoiled daughter of the privileged. Divorced from C.J.

A gossip weekly sends a reporter and a camera woman to report the wedding arrangements and they are injected into the house by Tracy’s brother who hopes to divert their attention from father’s romance with a Broadway dancer. Tracy finds herself growing interested in Connor, the fascinating reporter. At the end of a pre wedding party, Tracy and Connor take a moonlight dip in the pool and meet her ex husband and finance on their way back to the house. The following morning her intended agrees to forgive her, but his smug attitude enrages Tracy and she breaks off the engagement. Connor offers to marry her, but she turns him down and remarries Dexter, to the satisfaction of everyone.

Auditioned for God’s Man in Texas

Heidi opened the weekend of May 26th. On that Sunday, I went on vacation immediately after the 2 PM show. St. Augustine, Florida if you want to know. Friday I drove all the way back to Atlanta for this audition Friday night, June 1st. Long drive. I needed to be back anyway for Heidi on Saturday and Sunday.

Audition went well enough, five guys auditioned for 3 roles. I as called today by Tanya Carroll who indicated that, yes, indeed I had too many conflicts. Rehearsals at Lionheart Theatre Company were on Tuesdays and Thursdays only and would start while I am in rehearsals for Breaking Legs. Although the run dates do not overlap, I would miss too many rehearsals. Oh well.

Tanya did invite me back for the next 2 auditions at Lionheart

Frankie in Breaking Legs

Just received a call from Jeannie Hinds at Kudzu Playhouse. I got the part of Frankie in Breaking Legs. Jeannie was telling me I played the part perfectly during auditions.

Our first read through is next Wednesday. For me that will be after rehearsal for Heidi.

I had been not acting to build a business and it was pure torture not to act. I have had the best time and have been so excited to be back on stage. Now to have two plays back to back is just, well, I am speechless.

MR SESEMAN in Heidi

I went to audition for Breaking Legs last night at Kudzu Playhouse. I met some people I know who are currently rehearsing for Kudzu’s Family Theatre production of Heidi. They were looking for someone to play MR. SESEMAN and well I accepted.

Rehearsals have been going on for a while, with just 7 more rehearsals before opening day. MR SESEMAN is only in Act III and Act IV. I should be able to have all the lines memorized by opening day.

I was planning on vacation starting opening day, but looks like my vacation will be cropped the first and second weekend. Still 5 days will be fine.
