LT Has His First Audition as a New Englandah! →[More:]I'm trying to get into On Golden Pond here next Monday night. Why? Because it's there, it'd be fun, and I can quite literally walk to the theater.

Best thing is, if I get Henry Fonda's role, I may be able to keep all the killer old fogey costume swag.

Hey, I've been to that theatre! More than once. Great space.

Innit, though? Best thing about Portsmouth is that all of the local theater spaces are tiny as hell. You're literally on top of the stage as an audience member, so it's a big challenge as an actor. I'm used to big-ass places where you have to shout your lines out.

Saw The Fantastiks there. A friend was the male lead. At one point when he was partially hidden behind something, he looked at me and made a face :-P

that is AWESOME. Come see my show if I get in, and I'll leap in your lap and blame it On Golden Pond.

(okay, I'm incredibly insipid and retarded by posting such a lame pun.)

Come anyway?

Hope you get the role, Lad!

One step at a time, Brando- break a leg at the auditon first :-D

Okay, first of all, I've been called Lad by Joe Famous. All Capitalized and shit. Which is riotously funny for me.

Second, Pinksh, you should crawl your ass up here anyway seeing as you know I'm coming to NY at some point.

I saw your title and thought Tomlinson was auditioning for the Patriots and nearly had a heart attack.

But since it's you--may you smash both legs and half your ribcage :)

Heh - no, it's just me. The Other LT(tm)

Hey, Casarkos - did you see the Football LT start up some shit at the end of the game with the Pats? He didn't take it all that well.

Go Pats!

I see a postman in your future, LT. Tiny space + age makeup = horror. Break a Leg!

Strange coincidence - I just almost auditioned for Agnes of God. It's a Jane Fonda confluence. I feel good about your chances.

I'll be up to visit soon, LT!

Break a leg, LT! They'd be fools not to give you the part. Fools, I say.

Wow. I have the artistic talent of ...well, a donkey, but nevertheless I love theater and I recognize that Miko and you are way too cool and talented. What a household!
Break, break :)
