Today was a big day for the understudies.
The actor playing Camillo in The Winter's Tale was out sick. His understudy is 3rd-year DY, who normally plays Young Shepherd. 3rd-year DY's understudy is Thrill. And 3rd-year EA, who normally plays Dorcas (among other roles) is still out with an injury. Her understudy is Two-Shots-Up. So in a very unusual performance, THREE understudies went on in one day (two of whom had never been up in those roles before). Crazy!
Tonight was also important because it marked the opening of the 2nd-year show, Miss Julie by August Strindberg. It was sold out tonight, and the preview last night had been sold out as well, so I haven't gotten to see it yet. I did attend the opening night party to support and congratulate all involved. I hope to be able to see it within the next couple of days (especially because one of my roommates -- 2nd-year NP -- is in it).

Hi, Angela!
You don't know me. I'm just a faceless blog follower. I adore your adventures and I was hoping you could do me a favor. Please read the following message and post it on your blog if you feel so inclined.
Hello, Everyone!
My name is Rebekah Patton, and I am the Salutatorian from Wilson Central High School . I am currently completing for a $20K scholarship in an online voting competition. First, I would like to thank everyone who has supported me so far. I appreciate your votes as well as your time. Now, I need your help again. I have advanced to regions and you can all vote again. : ) Or, if you haven't voted yet, you can for the first time. This is not a scam; this is a legitimate competition that could me the opportunity of a lifetime.
Here's a more in-depth explanation:
1.) I am currently competing at the regional level in the Zinch March Madness Scholarship Competition. I was selected from over 7,000 students from Tennessee to represent our state. I have now advanced to regions by being in the top 6 of around 50 students in the state of Tennessee. I am in the South 3 region and the competition is fierce. To advance again, I need your help. I need each and every one of you to vote for me.
2.) So, how do you vote? It's an online vote. Go to zinch.com. It will take you to the page, but you have to be a member. Don't sweat, though. Sign-up only takes a minute, and it's 100% free. First, click on sign up. The first question will be "Who am I?" select "other." Then, you will pick a username and password. It will ask for your email address, but please don’t be deterred. IT WILL NOT SPAM YOU. After that, it will only ask for your name, gender, and zip code. Voila! You're done. They'll send you a confirmation email. After you confirm, you'll be free to vote!
3.) This might sound cynical, but I know a few of you are wondering, "Why bother?" Well, there are about a million and one reasons, but I only have time for three. First of all, when you do something nice for someone, good things happen. It's called karma. : ) Second, I'm planning on attending Vanderbilt in the fall. Tuition is roughly $50K a year, so this scholarship would really help me. (Hopefully this University choice will alert you to my academic and extracurricular record.) Lastly, I am going to be a plastic surgeon, specializing in pediatric reconstructive surgery. If you vote for me, you'll also be helping many, many children in the future.
Is that enough of a guilt trip? Only kidding, but seriously . . . please take a few minutes of your time to help me. Feel free to contact me at Beka709@yahoo.com with any further questions.
Thank You,
Rebekah Patton
Wilson Central High School
P.S. Please forward this message to as many people as possible. I REALLY need the votes.
