I need to move.

Shows I want to audition for have been scarce. Well, there have been shows that sounded interesting, but were in Marietta. And that is just too far for me to drive. I live in Buford and work in Norcross. Norcross to Marietta is not too bad, but Marietta to Buford can be a very long drive when you have rehearsals 4 nights a week.

Drive from Buford to Norcross (19 miles) for work. Norcross to Marietta (25 miles) for dinner and rehearsal. Then Marietta to Buford (41 miles). That’s 85 miles round trip.

I need to move closer back towards town. I would love to live in Norcross or Dunwoody. I like Norcross better. Norcross would not be too bad for the play houses in Decatur, Dunwoody, Roswell, Marietta and downtown Atlanta.

I will, however, audition for Funny Money at Polk Street Players in Marietta, because Lane Teilhabe is directing.

Play Notice: The Sunshine Boys

Jayne, from my second class with Chris, called me on Friday night having just returned from rehearsal. The person who was to play a very minor part could not and the part had to be recast. She gave me the phone number of the director (Richard Dillon). Well I called and was given the part based on Jayne’s recommendation. Auditions are good, but friends are better. As in anything else in life, it’s who you know!
